Proverbs 3:31

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.

Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;

hasn’t wronged any, hasn’t taken anything to pledge, hasn’t taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.

Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of those who were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would like to reason the cause with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?

has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.

For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

“ ‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.

The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Yahweh.

Don’t let your heart envy sinners, but rather fear Yahweh all day long.

If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

All this I have seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.

All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he will surely live. He will not die.

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.

but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.

and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”

You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.

For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and the good of their children after them.

Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”

“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.

and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
