For fools speak folly, their hearts are bent on evil: They practice ungodliness and spread error concerning the Lord; the hungry they leave empty and from the thirsty they withhold water.

Foolish people say foolish things. Their minds are set on doing evil things. They don’t do what is right. They tell lies about the Lord. They don’t give hungry people any food. They don’t let thirsty people have any water.

For fools speak foolishness and make evil plans. They practice ungodliness and spread false teachings about the Lord. They deprive the hungry of food and give no water to the thirsty.

For a fool speaks foolishness and his mind plots iniquity. He lives in a godless way and speaks falsely about the LORD. He leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.

For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.

For the foolish person will speak foolishness, And his heart will work iniquity: To practice ungodliness, To utter error against the Lord, To keep the hungry unsatisfied, And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise profaneness, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

As the proverb of the ancients says,‘ Out of the wicked comes wickedness.’ But my hand shall not be against you.

One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.

What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor?” declares the Lord God of hosts.

Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men, and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.

Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly?No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth.

Some move landmarks; they seize flocks and pasture them.They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.They thrust the poor off the road; the poor of the earth all hide themselves.Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert the poor go out to their toil, seeking game; the wasteland yields food for their children.They gather their fodder in the field, and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.They lie all night naked, without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.They are wet with the rain of the mountains and cling to the rock for lack of shelter.( There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast, and they take a pledge against the poor.)They go about naked, without clothing; hungry, they carry the sheaves;among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil; they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.From out of the city the dying groan, and the soul of the wounded cries for help; yet God charges no one with wrong.“ There are those who rebel against the light, who are not acquainted with its ways, and do not stay in its paths.The murderer rises before it is light, that he may kill the poor and needy, and in the night he is like a thief.The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight, saying,‘ No eye will see me’; and he veils his face.In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves up; they do not know the light.

Woe to those who devise wickedness and work evil on their beds! When the morning dawns, they perform it, because it is in the power of their hand.They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them away; they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.

Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then also you can do good who are accustomed to do evil.

When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the Lord.

that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals and sell the chaff of the wheat?”

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Thus says the Lord:“ For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals—those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth and turn aside the way of the afflicted; a man and his father go in to the same girl, so that my holy name is profaned;

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.

You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,

But Peter said,“ Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.”

And I said: Hear, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice?—you who hate the good and love the evil, who tear the skin from off my people and their flesh from off their bones,who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones in pieces and chop them up like meat in a pot, like flesh in a cauldron.

You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

For with hearts like an oven they approach their intrigue; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen, and none of them calls upon me.

But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

And Nabal answered David’s servants,“ Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers and give it to men who come from I do not know where?”

Is not your evil abundant? There is no end to your iniquities.For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing and stripped the naked of their clothing.You have given no water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.The man with power possessed the land, and the favored man lived in it.You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.

So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.

“ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.
