Delight

Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot bear up:

Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

The couriers went out impelled by the king’s command while the decree was issued at the citadel in Susa; and while the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in confusion.

Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink,
Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

Therefore in that day the Lord God of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing,
To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.

With their wickedness they make the king glad,

And the princes with their lies.

Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations!

For you have played the harlot, forsaking your God.
You have loved harlots’ earnings on every threshing floor.

Do you put off the day of calamity,
And would you bring near the seat of violence?

“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

Much

Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you; why then have you sent him away and he is already gone?

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which goes forth from the ruler—

And the people will be oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;
The youth will storm against the elder
And the inferior against the honorable.
