A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of evil devices he condemns.
For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord,
for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice.
For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—
The fool will no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable. For the fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the Lord, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink. As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil; he plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.
therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.
No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
