How terrible it will be for those who plan to harm others! How terrible for those who make evil plans before they even get out of bed! As soon as daylight comes, they carry out their plans. That’s because they have the power to do it.

He also hates hearts that make evil plans and feet that are quick to do evil.He hates any witness who pours out lies and anyone who stirs up conflict in the community.

Even as they lie in bed they make evil plans. They commit themselves to a sinful way of life. They never say no to what is wrong.

Don’t plan to harm your neighbor. He lives near you and trusts you.

Don’t be quick to get mixed up in someone else’s fight. That’s like grabbing a stray dog by its ears.Suppose a crazy person shoots flaming arrows that can kill.Someone who lies to their neighbor and says,“ I was only joking!” is just like that crazy person.If you don’t have wood, your fire goes out. If you don’t talk about others, arguing dies down.Coal glows, and wood burns. And a person who argues stirs up conflict.The words of anyone who talks about others are like tasty bites of food. They go deep down inside you.

I am warning you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who try to keep you from staying together. They want to trip you up. They teach you things opposite to what you have learned. Stay away from them.

The Lord says,“ Worshiping other gods is like worshiping the wind. It is like planting worthless seeds. Assyria is like a windstorm. That is all my people will harvest. There are no heads of grain on the stems that will come up. So they will not produce any flour. Even if they did produce grain, the Assyrians would eat all of it up.

A twisted person stirs up conflict. Anyone who talks about others separates close friends.A person who wants to hurt others tries to get them to sin. That person leads them down a path that isn’t good.Whoever winks with their eye is planning to do wrong. Whoever closes their lips tightly is up to no good.

But those who are evil are like the rolling sea. It never rests. Its waves toss up mud and sand.

Don’t be fooled. You can’t outsmart God. A man gathers a crop from what he plants.Some people plant to please their desires controlled by sin. From these desires they will harvest death. Others plant to please the Holy Spirit. From the Spirit they will harvest eternal life.

Anyone who plants evil gathers a harvest of trouble. Their power to treat others badly will be destroyed.

The Lord said to me,“ Son of man, these men are making evil plans. They are giving bad advice to the city.

Those who are worthless use sinful methods. They make evil plans against poor people. They destroy them with their lies. They do it even when those people are right.

They take delight in doing what is wrong. They take joy in twisting everything around.

The path of those who are guilty is crooked. But the conduct of those who are not guilty is honest.
