Behold, My Servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.

Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and stupidity is with him; but I your slave did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

But Nabal answered David’s servants and said,“ Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men whose origin I do not know?”

It goes well for a person who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment.

“ Proud,”“ Arrogant,”“ Scoffer,” are his names, One who acts with insolent pride.

For the report of your obedience has reached everyone; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil.

Now then, be aware and consider what you should do, because harm is plotted against our master and against all his household; and he is such a worthless man that no one can speak to him.”

“ Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be as wary as serpents, and as innocent as doves.

Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
