The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; he will guide his affairs with justice.
He has given freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be exalted with honor.
He devises mischief on his bed; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he does not reject evil.
The wicked covet the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous yields fruit.
He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who has mercy on the poor.
who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perversity of evil,
He who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he also will cry out, but will not be heard.
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
Do not devise evil against your neighbor who dwells securely beside you.
Now these things were our examples to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.
For he who has shown no mercy will have judgment without mercy, for mercy triumphs over judgment.
For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father, but is of the world.
