Context Readings

The Kingdom Of Righteousness

4 The heart of the unwise shall attain to knowledge, and the imperfect tongue shall speak plainly and distinctly. 5 Then shall the niggard be no more called gentle, nor the churl liberal. 6 But the churl will be churlishly minded, and his heart will work evil and play the hypocrite, and imagine abominations against God, to make the hungry lean, and withhold drink from the thirsty.
