Everything always goes well for him. So he is proud. He doesn’t want to have anything to do with God’s laws. He makes fun of all his enemies.

凡他所做的，时常稳固；你的审判超过他的眼界。至于他一切的敌人，他都向他们喷气。

彼之所為、恆穩固兮、爾之讞典高遠、其目所不及、凡厥仇敵、悉為所叱兮、

既所為之如志、復災眚之弗及、所以藐視讐敵兮、

凡其所行、時常亨通、主之責罰、離之高遠、遂藐視一切仇敵、

基業兮穩固。千秋兮不淪。坐井而觀天兮。夫焉知吾主之經綸。

His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.

His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them.

Yet they succeed in everything they do. They do not see your punishment awaiting them. They sneer at all their enemies.

His ways are always secure; your lofty judgments have no effect on him; he scoffs at all his adversaries.

His ways succeed at all times; Yet Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he snorts at them.

His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

His ways are always secure; Your lofty judgments are beyond his sight; he scoffs at all his adversaries.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments[ are] far above out of his sight:[ as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

He is secure at all times. He has no regard for your commands; he disdains all his enemies.

His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

Lord, you have raised your hand high to punish them. But they don’t even see it. Let them see how much you love your people. Then they will be put to shame. Let the fire you are saving for your enemies burn them up.

Lord, how great are the things you do! How wise your thoughts are!Here is something that people without sense don’t know. Here is what foolish people don’t understand.

The Lord says,“ The poor are being robbed. Those who are in need groan. So I will stand up to help them. I will keep them safe from those who tell lies about them.”

Men like that have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways.

The path of life leads up for those who are wise. It keeps them from going down to the place of the dead.

So he poured out his great anger on you. He had many of you killed in battle. You were surrounded by flames. But you didn’t realize what was happening. Many of you were destroyed. But you didn’t learn anything from it.

Then Ben- Hadad sent another message to Ahab. Ben- Hadad said,“ There won’t be enough dust left in Samaria to give each of my followers even a handful. If there is, may the gods punish me greatly.”The king of Israel replied. He said,“ Tell him,‘ Someone who puts his armor on shouldn’t brag like someone who takes it off.’ ”

That’s what happens to everyone who goes after money in the wrong way. That kind of money takes away the life of those who get it.

How terrible it will be for you who make laws that aren’t fair! How terrible for you who write laws that make life hard for others!

They have harps and lyres at their banquets. They have tambourines, flutes and wine. But they don’t have any concern for the mighty acts of the Lord. They don’t have any respect for what his power has done.

Then Zebul said to Gaal,“ Where is your big talk now? You said,‘ Who is Abimelek? Why should we be under his rule?’ Aren’t these the people you made fun of? Go out and fight against them!”

The people of Shechem went out into the fields. They gathered the grapes. They pressed the juice out of them by stomping on them. Then they held a feast in the temple of their god. While they were eating and drinking, they cursed Abimelek.

Do not want what evil people have. Don’t long to be with them.

You have sunk very deep into sin, just as your people did at Gibeah long ago. God will remember the evil things they have done. He will punish them for their sins.

Their paths are crooked. Their ways are not straight.

They leave a trail of harmful actions.

If someone is wise, they will realize that what I’ve said is true. If they have understanding, they will know what it means. The ways of the Lord are right. People who are right with God live the way he wants them to. But those who refuse to obey him trip and fall.

During that time a prophet came to Ahab, the king of Israel. He announced,“ The Lord says,‘ Do you see this huge army? I will hand it over to you today. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’ ”

The king and his men marched to Jerusalem. They went to attack the Jebusites who lived there. The Jebusites said to David,“ You won’t get in here. Even people who can’t see or walk can keep you from coming in.” The Jebusites thought,“ David can’t get in here.”

You brag,“ We have entered into a covenant with the place of the dead. We have made an agreement with the grave. When a terrible plague comes to punish us, it can’t touch us. That’s because we depend on lies to keep us safe. We hide behind what isn’t true.”

God saw how sinful the earth had become. All its people were living very sinful lives.
