A good man shall obtain favor of LORD, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices.

LORD brings the counsel of the nations to naught. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

But when [the matter] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

He frustrates the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

Take ye heed each one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother, for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.

For I have heard the slander of many. Fear [was] on every side, while they took counsel together against me. They devised to take away my life.

He who hides hatred is of lying lips. And he who utters a slander is a fool.

The hypocrite destroys his neighbor with his mouth, but the righteous shall be delivered through knowledge.

regarding zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness in law, having become blameless.

And punishing them often at all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being extraordinarily furious toward them, I persecuted them even as far as to outside cities.

Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler asks, and the judge [is ready] for a bribe. And the great man, he utters the evil desire of his soul. Thus they weave it together.

He who guards his mouth keeps his life. He who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

He who keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

For if thy brother is distressed because of food, thou no longer walk according to love. Do not destroy with thy food that man for whom Christ died.

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out from her, my people, so that ye may not participate with her sins, and that ye may not receive from her plagues.

Do not become ye therefore partakers with them.

Ye cannot drink the cup of Lord, and the cup of demons. Ye cannot be partakers of a table of Lord, and of a table of demons.

For he who speaks to him to rejoice, partakes of his evil works.

not in passion of lust, as also the Gentiles who have not known God,

And those of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and the lusts.

Because of this God gave them up to shameful passions, for even their females changed the natural use into what is against nature.

And even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of LORD of hosts, an

These are reefs in your love-feasts, feasting together, fearlessly tending to themselves, waterless clouds carried along by winds, autumn trees without fruit, who died twice having being uprooted,
