What sorrow awaits you who lie awake at night, thinking up evil plans. You rise at dawn and hurry to carry them out, simply because you have the power to do so.

a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong,a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.

They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.

Don’t plot harm against your neighbor, for those who live nearby trust you.

Interfering in someone else’s argument is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears.Just as damaging as a madman shooting a deadly weaponis someone who lies to a friend and then says,“ I was only joking.”Fire goes out without wood, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops.A quarrelsome person starts fights as easily as hot embers light charcoal or fire lights wood.Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.

And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.

“ They have planted the wind and will harvest the whirlwind. The stalks of grain wither and produce nothing to eat. And even if there is any grain, foreigners will eat it.

A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends.Violent people mislead their companions, leading them down a harmful path.With narrowed eyes, people plot evil; with a smirk, they plan their mischief.

“ But those who still reject me are like the restless sea, which is never still but continually churns up mud and dirt.

Don’t be misled— you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an end.

The Spirit said to me,“ Son of man, these are the men who are planning evil and giving wicked counsel in this city.

The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil. They plot crooked schemes. They lie to convict the poor, even when the cause of the poor is just.

They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil.

The guilty walk a crooked path; the innocent travel a straight road.
