A good {man} obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

For the law was given by Moses, {but} grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

And he said, Blessed {be} the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I {being} in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

The desire of a man {is} his kindness: and a poor man {is} better than a liar.

Blessed {are} the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

The instruments also of the churl {are} evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. {the needy...: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment}

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, {which} may preserve him.

Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. {Devise...: or, Practise no evil}

{He that is} soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

All the paths of the LORD {are} mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.

He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

Whereas thou camest {but} yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth {be} with thee. {go up...: Heb. wander in going}

Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. {Devise...: or, Practise no evil}
