As the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter. He was an outdoorsman, but Jacob had a quiet temperament, preferring to stay at home.Isaac loved Esau because he enjoyed eating the wild game Esau brought home, but Rebekah loved Jacob.One day when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau arrived home from the wilderness exhausted and hungry.Esau said to Jacob,“ I’m starved! Give me some of that red stew!”( This is how Esau got his other name, Edom, which means“ red.”)“ All right,” Jacob replied,“ but trade me your rights as the firstborn son.”“ Look, I’m dying of starvation!” said Esau.“ What good is my birthright to me now?”But Jacob said,“ First you must swear that your birthright is mine.” So Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his brother, Jacob.Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.

We know we have rebelled and have denied the Lord. We have turned our backs on our God. We know how unfair and oppressive we have been, carefully planning our deceitful lies.

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,“ I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.

“ Are you defending God with lies? Do you make your dishonest arguments for his sake?

They told the soldiers,“ You must say,‘ Jesus’ disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.’

Neighbors lie to each other, speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.

Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.Truthful words stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed.Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil; joy fills hearts that are planning peace!

People may cover their hatred with pleasant words, but they’re deceiving you.They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them. Their hearts are full of many evils.While their hatred may be concealed by trickery, their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.

The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth. They are all murderers, setting traps even for their own brothers.

Don’t testify against your neighbors without cause; don’t lie about them.And don’t say,“ Now I can pay them back for what they’ve done to me! I’ll get even with them!”

The wicked are trapped by their own words, but the godly escape such trouble.

Two years later, when Absalom’s sheep were being sheared at Baal hazor near Ephraim, Absalom invited all the king’s sons to come to a feast.He went to the king and said,“ My sheep shearers are now at work. Would the king and his servants please come to celebrate the occasion with me?”The king replied,“ No, my son. If we all came, we would be too much of a burden on you.” Absalom pressed him, but the king would not come, though he gave Absalom his blessing.“ Well, then,” Absalom said,“ if you can’t come, how about sending my brother Amnon with us?”“ Why Amnon?” the king asked.But Absalom kept on pressing the king until he finally agreed to let all his sons attend, including Amnon. So Absalom prepared a feast fit for a king.Absalom told his men,“ Wait until Amnon gets drunk; then at my signal, kill him! Don’t be afraid. I’m the one who has given the command. Take courage and do it!”So at Absalom’s signal they murdered Amnon. Then the other sons of the king jumped on their mules and fled.

As for you, you smear me with lies. As physicians, you are worthless quacks.

Samson said,“ This time I cannot be blamed for everything I am going to do to you Philistines.”

See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.
