The appetite of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor is shown no favor in his eyes.

Ask your own servants; they can tell you! May my servants find favor in your sight, for we have come at the time of a holiday. Please provide us -- your servants and your son David -- with whatever you can spare."

He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.

Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver.

It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly.

He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored.

Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly.

The wicked person desires a stronghold, but the righteous root endures.

The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and will not be answered.

For a fool speaks disgraceful things; his mind plans out sinful deeds. He commits godless deeds and says misleading things about the Lord; he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.

yet you hate what is good, and love what is evil. You flay my people's skin and rip the flesh from their bones.

For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder,

These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.

For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over judgment.

Where do the conflicts and where do the quarrels among you come from? Is it not from this, from your passions that battle inside you?

Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father, but is from the world.
