Now the sons H1121 of Eli H5941 were sons H1121 of Belial; H1100 they knew H3045 not the LORD. H3068

But the children H1121 of Belial H1100 said, H559 How H4100 shall this H2088 man save H3467 us? And they despised H959 him, and brought H935 no H3808 presents. H4503 But he held H2790 his peace. H2790

Let not my lord, H113 I pray H4994 you, regard H3820 this H2088 man H376 of Belial, H1100 even Nabal: H5037 for as his name H8034 is, so H3651 is he; Nabal H5037 is his name, H8034 and folly H5039 is with him: but I your handmaid H519 saw H7200 not the young H5288 men of my lord, H113 whom H834 you did send. H7971

Certain men, H582 the children H1121 of Belial, H1100 are gone H3318 out from among H7130 you, and have withdrawn H5080 the inhabitants H3427 of their city, H5892 saying, H559 Let us go H3212 and serve H5647 other H312 gods, H430 which H834 you have not known; H3045

Oh H3863 that my grief H3708 were thoroughly weighed, H8254 and my calamity H1942 laid H5375 in the balances H3976 together! H3162

For now H6258 it would be heavier H3513 than the sand H2344 of the sea: H3220 therefore H5921 H3651 my words H1697 are swallowed H3886 up.

My soul H5315 is weary H5354 of my life; H2416 I will leave H5800 my complaint H7879 on myself; I will speak H1696 in the bitterness H4751 of my soul. H5315

I will say H559 to God, H433 Do not condemn H7561 me; show H3045 me why H5921 H4100 you contend H7378 with me.

O generation G1081 of vipers, G2191 how G4459 can G1410 you, being G5607 evil, G4190 speak G2980 good G18 things? for out of the abundance G4051 of the heart G2588 the mouth G4750 speaks. G2980

A good G18 man G444 out of the good G18 treasure G2344 of the heart G2588 brings G1544 forth G1544 good G18 things: and an evil G4190 man G444 out of the evil G4190 treasure G2344 brings G1544 forth evil G4190 things.
