He brags about what his heart desires. He speaks well of those who always want more. He attacks the Lord with his words.

惡人得其所欲、即自誇張、得不義之財而感謝主、反輕褻主、

驕矜自慢兮。目無主宰。刼奪人財兮。逍遙法外。

He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.

For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord.

For they brag about their evil desires; they praise the greedy and curse the Lord.

For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings; the one who is greedy curses and despises the LORD.

For the wicked boasts of his soul’s desire, And the greedy person curses and shows disrespect to the Lord.

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the LORD.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.

Proud words pour out of their mouths. All those who do evil are always bragging.

“ Jehoiakim, the only thing on your mind is to get rich by cheating others. You would even kill people who are not guilty of doing anything wrong. You would mistreat them. You would take everything they own.”

You sinful people, should I forget that you got your treasures by stealing them? You use dishonest measures to cheat others. I have placed a curse on that practice.Should I forgive anyone who uses dishonest scales? They use weights that weigh things heavier or lighter than they really are.The rich people among you harm others. You are always telling lies. You try to fool others by what you say.

I’ll say to myself,“ You have plenty of grain stored away for many years. Take life easy. Eat, drink and have a good time.” ’

They trust in their wealth. They brag about how rich they are.

Those who buy them kill them. And they are not punished for it. Those who sell them say,‘ Praise the Lord! We’re rich!’ And their own shepherds do not spare them.I will no longer have pity on the people in the land,” announces the Lord.“ I will hand all of them over to their neighbors and their king. They will destroy the land. And I will not save anyone from their power.”So I took care of the sheep set apart to be sacrificed. I took special care of those that had been treated badly. Then I got two shepherd’s staffs. I called one of them Favor. I called the other one Union. And I took care of the flock.In one month I got rid of three worthless shepherds. The sheep hated me, and I got tired of them.

Their tombs will remain their houses forever. Their graves will be their homes for all time to come. Naming lands after themselves won’t help either.Even though people may be very rich, they don’t live on and on. They are like the animals. They die.That’s what happens to those who trust in themselves. It also happens to their followers, who agree with what they say.

You destroy those who tell lies. Lord, you hate murderers and those who cheat others.

Who have you laughed at? Who have you spoken evil things against? Who have you raised your voice against? Who have you looked at so proudly? You have done it against me. I am the Holy One of Israel!

You are like a trader who uses dishonest scales. You love to cheat others.People of Ephraim, you brag,“ We are very rich. We’ve become wealthy. And no one can prove we sinned to gain all this wealth.”

Saul replied,“ May the Lord bless you because you were concerned about me.

They are full of every kind of sin, evil and ungodliness. They want more than they need. They commit murder. They want what belongs to other people. They fight and cheat. They hate others. They say mean things about other people.

Those who turn away from instruction praise sinners. But those who learn from it oppose them.

“ Suppose I’ve put my trust in gold. I’ve said to pure gold,‘ You make me feel secure.’

“ Your enemies bragged,‘ We will chase Israel and will catch them. We’ll divide up what we take from them. We’ll eat them alive. We’ll pull our swords out. Our powerful hands will destroy them.’

I was very angry with them. They always longed for more and more of everything. So I punished them for that sin. I turned my face away from them because I was angry. But they kept on wanting their own way.

Then he said to them,“ Watch out! Be on your guard against wanting to have more and more things. Life is not made up of how much a person has.”

People will love themselves. They will love money. They will brag and be proud. They will tear others down. They will not obey their parents. They won’t be thankful or holy.They won’t love others. They won’t forgive others. They will tell lies about people. They will be out of control. They will be wild. They will hate what is good.They will turn against their friends. They will act without thinking. They will think they are better than others. They will love what pleases them instead of loving God.

I will destroy the high places where you worship other gods. I will pull down your incense altars. I will pile up your dead bodies on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will turn away from you.

They know that God’s commands are right. They know that those who do evil things should die. But they continue to do those very things. They also approve of others who do them.

People who want to get rich are tempted. They fall into a trap. They are tripped up by wanting many foolish and harmful things. Those who live like that are dragged down by what they do. They are destroyed and die.Love for money causes all kinds of evil. Some people want to get rich. They have wandered away from the faith. They have wounded themselves with many sorrows.

Do not love the world or anything in it. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

Here is what you can be sure of. Those who give themselves over to sexual sins are lost. So are people whose lives are impure. The same is true of those who always want more and more. People who do these things might as well worship statues of gods. No one who does them will receive a share in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

So put to death anything that comes from sinful desires. Get rid of sexual sins and impure acts. Don’t let your feelings get out of control. Remove from your life all evil desires. Stop always wanting more and more. You might as well be worshiping statues of gods.

Now listen, you who say,“ Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city. We will spend a year there. We will buy and sell and make money.”

He asked,“ What will you give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” So they counted out 30 silver coins for him.From then on, Judas watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them.

You think you are such a big, strong man! Why do you brag about the evil things you’ve done? You are a dishonor to God all the time.

The Pharisees loved money. They heard all that Jesus said and made fun of him.Jesus said to them,“ You try to make yourselves look good in the eyes of other people. But God knows your hearts. What people think is worth a lot is hated by God.

They make fun of me. They say,“ With our own eyes we have seen what you did.”

But that is not what the king of Assyria plans. It is not what he has in mind. His purpose is to destroy many nations. His purpose is to put an end to them.‘ Aren’t all my commanders kings?’ he says.‘ I took over Kalno just as I took Carchemish. I took over Hamath just as I did Arpad. I took Samaria just as I did Damascus.My powerful hand grabbed hold of kingdoms whose people worship statues of gods. They had more gods than Jerusalem and Samaria did.I took over Samaria and its statues of gods. In the same way, I will take Jerusalem and its gods.’ ”

While they lived, they believed they were blessed. People praised them when things were going well for them.

Neither will thieves or those who always want more and more. Neither will those who are often drunk or tell lies or cheat. People who live like that will not receive God’s kingdom.

“ How terrible it will be for the Babylonians! They build their kingdom with money that they gained by cheating others. They have tried to make the kingdom as secure as possible. After all, they did not want to be destroyed.

When the Lord saw this, he turned away from them. His sons and daughters made him angry.

Some people who worship those gods will hear the promise that seals the covenant I’m making. They think they can escape trouble by what they’re saying. They say,“ We’ll be safe, even though we’re stubborn and go our own way.” But they will bring trouble on the whole land.

They laugh at others and speak words of hatred. They are proud. They warn others about the harm they can do to them.They brag as if they owned heaven itself. They talk as if they controlled the earth.

As it is, you brag. You brag about the evil plans your pride produces. This kind of bragging is evil.
