28 Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me,
29 since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the Lord.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
Those who reject
the fear of the Lord
and His knowledge
actually EARN their fate.
11 “There are those who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers;
12 those who are pure in their own eyes
and yet are not cleansed of their filth;
13 those whose eyes are ever so haughty,
whose glances are so disdainful;
14 those whose teeth are swords
and whose jaws are set with knives
to devour the poor from the earth
and the needy from among mankind.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
Vile parent haters deny their sinfulness
and have only distain for the poor and needy.
8 Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
Be wise and peaceful
not derisive and violent.
6 Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than the rich whose ways are perverse.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
A righteous life is more precious than wealth.
7 One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
It is easy to please the needy.
So do so.
