因彼自欺、以為其惡不顯、不見惡兮、

其惡可疾、彼乃厭然、謂無能發其覆兮、

彼雖自慰自誇、其惡事終必顯露、為主所憎惡、

不肖之人性怙惡。赫赫天主不在目。

In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.

They praise themselves so much that they can’t see their sin or hate it.

He pronounces this blessing on himself while he is alive:“ May men praise you, for you have done well!”

When such a person hears the words of this oath he secretly blesses himself and says,“ I will have peace though I continue to walk with a stubborn spirit.” This will destroy the watered ground with the parched.

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

What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,

And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive

“ How can you say,‘ I have not made myself unclean. I have not paid allegiance to the gods called Baal.’ Just look at the way you have behaved in the Valley of Hinnom! Think about the things you have done there! You are like a flighty, young female camel that rushes here and there, crisscrossing its path.

Even your clothes are stained with the lifeblood of the poor who had not done anything wrong; you did not catch them breaking into your homes. Yet, in spite of all these things you have done,you say,‘ I have not done anything wrong, so the LORD cannot really be angry with me any more.’ But, watch out! I will bring down judgment on you because you say,‘ I have not committed any sin.’

The LORD sent you on a campaign saying,‘ Go and exterminate those sinful Amalekites! Fight against them until you have destroyed them.’Why haven’t you obeyed the LORD? Instead you have greedily rushed upon the plunder! You have done what is wrong in the LORD’s estimation.”Then Saul said to Samuel,“ But I have obeyed the LORD! I went on the campaign the LORD sent me on. I brought back King Agag of the Amalekites after exterminating the Amalekites.But the army took from the plunder some of the sheep and cattle– the best of what was to be slaughtered– to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal.”Then Samuel said,“ Does the LORD take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as he does in obedience? Certainly, obedience is better than sacrifice; paying attention is better than the fat of rams.For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and presumption is like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.”Then Saul said to Samuel,“ I have sinned, for I have disobeyed what the LORD commanded and what you said as well. For I was afraid of the army, and I followed their wishes.

The Pharisees( who loved money) heard all this and ridiculed him.But Jesus said to them,“ You are the ones who justify yourselves in men’s eyes, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly prized among men is utterly detestable in God’s sight.

The human mind is more deceitful than anything else. It is incurably bad. Who can understand it?

The businessmen love to cheat; they use dishonest scales.Ephraim boasts,“ I am very rich! I have become wealthy! In all that I have done to gain my wealth, no one can accuse me of any offense that is actually sinful.”

So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD and did not obey the LORD’s instructions; he even tried to conjure up underworld spirits.He did not seek the LORD’s guidance, so the LORD killed him and transferred the kingdom to David son of Jesse.

But the expert, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus,“ And who is my neighbor?”

For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
