A Psalm of David. 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, \u2018There is no God.\u2019 They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good. 14:2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God. 14:3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. 14:4 Do all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord? 14:5 There they are in great dread, For God is with the righteous generation. 14:6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted, But the Lord is his refuge. 14:7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

14:1 For praise; in the spirit of prophecy through David. The fool said in his heart, \u201cThere is no rule of God on the earth.\u201d They corrupted their deeds, they despised goodness and found iniquity. There is none who does good. 14:2 The Lord looked down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there was any wise man seeking instruction from the presence of the Lord. 14:3 All alike have turned backward, they have become lax; there is none who does good, there is not even one. 14:4 Do they not know, all doers of falsehood? Those among my people who dine have dined on bread [and] not blessed the name of the Lord. 14:5 There they became afraid because the word of the Lord is in the generation of the righteous. 14:6 You will despise the counsel of the poor man, because he has placed his hope in the Lord. 14:7 Who will produce from Zion the redemption of Israel? When the Lord brings back the exile of his people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad. (EMC)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

For the end, Psalm of David. 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one. 14:2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god. 14:3 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes. 14:4 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord. 14:5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation. 14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope. 14:7 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.

(NASB)<\/span> Interestingly, David begins with <\/span>\u201cSaid Nabal in his heart,\u201d<\/span> here we find the Hebrew word <\/span><\/a>Nabal (<\/span>\u05e0\u05d1\u05dc<\/span>). The root meaning of the word Nabal (<\/span>\u05e0\u05d1\u05dc<\/span>) is <\/span>\u201cwilt\u201d <\/span>(verb), and came to mean <\/span>\u201cfailure,\u201d<\/span> and eventually gained the figurative meaning of <\/span>\u201cshameless improprieties.\u201d<\/span> In David\u2019s life from the first book of Samuel Chapter 25 we read the story of Nabal (<\/span>\u05e0\u05d1\u05dc<\/span>) and Abigail. According to a Hebrew lexicon, <\/span>\u05e0\u05d1\u05dc<\/span> (Nabal) as an adjective or noun means <\/span>\u201cvillain, scoundrel, rascal, fink, heel, hound, jackal, miscreant, scallywag, scamp,\u201d<\/span> and as a verb <\/span>\u201cto wither.\u201d<\/span> When written as <\/span>\u05dc\u05e0\u05d1\u05dc<\/span> \u201cto nabal\u201d<\/span> means <\/span>\u201cto talk obscenely.\u201d<\/span> In the Nabal narrative (<\/span>1 Samuel 25:1-38<\/span>), he is described as living up to his name (<\/span>1 Samuel 25:25<\/span>) being evil, foolish, harsh and ill-tempered. Traditionally Nabal is euphemistically translated as <\/span>\u201cfool\u201d<\/span> and hence we find <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 14:1<\/span> being translated as <\/span>\u201cthe fool.<\/span>\u201d <\/span>The Scriptures describe Nabal as a rich Calebite who was harsh and ill-tempered. David was not yet King of Israel and he and his men were living off the wilderness of Param because of King Saul (<\/span>1 Samuel 25:5-11<\/span>) and were providing protection for the shepherds in the area. The Scriptures say that Nabal lived in the city of Maon, and he owned much land in the Judean town of Carmel as well as men, sheep, and goats. These events that happened occurred during the time of sheep shearing. During this time David sent a small group of men to Nabal with a request for provisions, David instructed his men on exactly what to say when they approached Nabal. He had instructed his men to speak to Nabal in such a way so as to inform him that his wealth would not have been so great if it were not for the protection of David and his men. David extended a great deal of honor to Nabal recognizing him as a nobleman of high stature (<\/span>1 Samuel <\/span>25:6 and thus you shall say, \u2018Have a long life, peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. NASB, <\/span>\u05d5 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05de\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b6\u05dd \u05db\u05bc\u05b9\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05d9 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b5\u05d9\u05ea\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b9\u05dc \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8-\u05dc\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd:<\/span>). Nabal\u2019s response was to question who David was, his lineage, and insult his men. It is written that when Nabal rejected David\u2019s request, one of the shepherds informed Nabal\u2019s wife (Abigail) of his response and of the situation along with a very positive account of the protection that David and his men had provided. The servant said <\/span>\u05d9\u05d6 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d3\u05bc\u05b0\u05e2\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05de\u05b7\u05d4-\u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e9\u05b4\u05b9\u05d9 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9-\u05db\u05b8\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05dc-\u05d0\u05b2\u05d3\u05b9\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05d9\u05ea\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b6\u05df-\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05bc\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc \u05de\u05b4\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5:<\/span> 25:17 \u2018Now therefore, know and consider what you should do, for evil is plotted against our master and against all his household; and he is such a worthless man that no one can speak to him.\u2019 (NASB)<\/span> Abigail recognized what Nabal had done and chose to intervene in order to avert David\u2019s wrath. In the historical account of Scripture, David armed his men, and set off with 400 of them for Nabal\u2019s home, leaving 200 men behind to look after the supplies, while at the same time Abigail set off with her servants, and a very large quantity of provisions, without telling Nabal. The narrative continues by stating that Abigail meets David and his men before David could reach Nabal and she pleads for David to accept the gifts she has brought with her, and begs that there be no bloodshed, asking to take Nabal\u2019s blame herself, and complimenting David by stating that the Lord would make his dynasty long lasting, and David sinless and divinely protected. In the end, God struck Nabal (the foolish) down and he died of a heart attack.

(NASB)<\/span> Nabal was cut off because of his wickedness and boastful tongue. In <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 14:1<\/span>, David may be making a reference to the foolishness of Nabal, using the word \u201cnabal\u201d (<\/span>\u05e0\u05b8\u05d1\u05b8\u05dc<\/span>) to refer to the foolish who say in their heart that there is no God.

The fool said in his heart, \u201cThere is no rule of God on the earth.\u201d They corrupted their deeds, they despised goodness and found iniquity. There is none who does good. (EMC)<\/span> The rabbis translate the words of David believing what he wrote was <\/span>\u201cin the spirit of prophecy\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>\u05d1\u05e8\u05d5\u05d7 \u05e0\u05d1\u05d5\u05d0\u05d4<\/span>) that he is speaking prophetically of man that<\/span> \u201cnabal\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>\u05e0\u05b8\u05d1\u05b8\u05dc<\/span>) the fool says in his heart <\/span>\u201cthere is no rule of God on earth\u201d<\/span> and therefore corrupts their deeds and says literally that such people despise goodness and <\/span>\u05d5\u05d0\u05e9\u05db\u05d7\u05d5 \u05e2\u05d9\u05dc\u05d0 \u05dc\u05d9\u05ea \u05d3\u05e2\u05d1\u05d3 \u05d8\u05d1<\/span> \u201che has found sin and forsakes serving good.\u201d<\/span> Sin is not acceptable to God and the mind-set of one who sins continually is that there is no rule of God on earth. For the believer who continues to sin is there any rule of God in his or her life? Is there an inconsistency here with regard to what Scripture says? When we sin we put ourselves first, this by its very nature is a disregard for God, His word, and others. The Scriptures are clear, <\/span>\u201cyou must put them all away…\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>Colossians 3:8-9, Galatians 5:19-21<\/span>), such sins as anger, gossip, malice, enmity, strife, jealousy, slander, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, and lying are to be put away and forsaken. The Apostle Paul\u2019s warning is <\/span>\u201cthat those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>Galatians 5:21<\/span>). The point is that those who say there is no rule of God on earth, their ways are corrupted and their deeds show a pattern of life providing a clear indication of the inward, hidden, spiritual state. Simply put, such a person is not born of God. True believers do not habitually violate what is planted on the inside (<\/span>God\u2019s Torah that is written upon the heart, <\/span>Jeremiah 31<\/span>). Secret sins are no different. The level of deception used to hide the secret sin, the fool says <\/span>\u201cthere is no rule of God on the earth\u201d<\/span> in order to continue in their ways. This is the pride of life, the arrogant logic of the fool that provides the cover up. The Apostle John wrote in <\/span>1 John 3:8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (NASB<\/span>) Does this mean that as children of the Most High God through faith in Yeshua, that one will not sin? What about struggling with sin?

Romans 3:1-31<\/span><\/p>\n

3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 3:2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3:3 What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 3:4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, \u2018That You may be justified in Your words, And prevail when You are judged.\u2019 3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.) 3:6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world? 3:7 But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner? 3:8 And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), \u2018Let us do evil that good may come\u2019? Their condemnation is just. 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; <\/span>3:10 as it is written, \u2018There is none righteous, not even one; 3:11 There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; 3:12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.\u2019 <\/span> 3:13 \u2018Their throat is an open grave, With their tongues they keep deceiving,\u2019 \u2018The poison of asps is under their lips\u2019; 3:14 \u2018Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness\u2019; 3:15 \u2018Their feet are swift to shed blood, 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their paths, 3:17 And the path of peace they have not known.\u2019 3:18 \u2018There is no fear of God before their eyes.\u2019 3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. 3:21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 3:22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 3:24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 3:25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 3:26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 3:27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 3:29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 3:30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of Romans 3<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Is there an advantage to being a Jew? (Circumcision, <\/span>3:1<\/span>)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Man cannot nullify the faithfulness of God. (<\/span>3:3<\/span>)<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Does unrighteousness demonstrate the righteousness of God? (<\/span>3:5<\/span>) Some have said <\/span>\u201clet us do evil that good may come\u201d<\/span> and Paul says their condemnation is just. (<\/span>3:8<\/span>)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Tehillim \/ Psalms 14:1-3<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Paul goes on to describe the nature of the one who does not seek for God, <\/span>\u201ctheir throats are an open grave, deceiving tongues, lips are poison, mouth full of swearing and bitterness, feet quick to shed blood, destruction and misery in their path, and they do not know the way of peace because there is no fear of God in their eyes.\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>3:13-18<\/span>)<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The Torah was given so that every person cannot boast and is accountable to God.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. By the flesh, no one will be justified since by the law comes the knowledge of sin (<\/span>3:20<\/span>).<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Paul then says <\/span>\u201capart from the law the righteousness of God has been manifested being witnessed by the Torah and the Prophets\u201d<\/span> (referring to Yeshua, <\/span>3:21-22<\/span>).<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Paul discusses the mercy, grace, and redemption of God (<\/span>3:23-25<\/span>).<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. God is the one who justifies for righteousness (3:26).<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Since God is the one who justifies, there is no one who can boast in their flesh (<\/span>3:27<\/span>), God is God of both the Jew and the non-Jew (<\/span>3:29-30<\/span>).<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. Paul concludes that this does not nullify the Torah, on the contrary, this establishes the Torah (<\/span>3:31<\/span>). <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

(NASB) <\/span> In Romans 3, Paul is speaking on the topic of whether one is able to obtain righteousness that leads to salvation by the works of the Law. Yeshua said the following in <\/span>John 8:31-43<\/span> concerning this topic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

    John 8:31-43<\/span><\/p>\n

    8:31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, \u2018If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.\u2019 8:33 They answered Him, \u2018We are Abraham\u2019s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, \u2018You will become free\u2019?\u2019 8:34 Jesus answered them, \u2018Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 8:35 \u2018The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 8:36 \u2018So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 8:37 \u2018I know that you are Abraham\u2019s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 8:38 \u2018I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.\u2019 8:39 They answered and said to Him, \u2018Abraham is our father.\u2019 Jesus said to them, \u2018If you are Abraham\u2019s children, do the deeds of Abraham. 8:40 \u2018But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. 8:41 \u2018You are doing the deeds of your father.\u2019 They said to Him, \u2018We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God.\u2019 8:42 Jesus said to them, \u2018If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. 8:43 \u2018Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Torah principle that Yeshua is teaching here in <\/span>John 8:31-34<\/span>, and what Paul is teaching in <\/span>Romans 3,<\/span> is about the Lord\u2019s Salvation, the Lord\u2019s Righteousness, the Lord\u2019s Redemption, the Lord\u2019s Deliverance all of which is found in His Messiah. At the time the Pharisee\u2019s thought that their place in heaven was guaranteed by their birthright or that by their works they could gain eternal life. Yeshua acknowledged their birthright but corrected their understanding that they are not guaranteed a place in Heaven. The true children of Abraham are those who do the works of Abraham (<\/span>\u03c4\u1f70 \u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u1f08\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u1f70\u03bc \u1f10\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c4\u03b5: \u03bd\u1fe6\u03bd). The work of Abraham is to live our salvation by faith. To hear the voice of the Lord God (<\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05e2\u05b7 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05b7\u05e2 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e7\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8<\/span>) and then to live and to do by faith! So, when Paul quoted from <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 14<\/span> in <\/span>Romans 3:10 as it is written, \u2018There is none righteous, not even one; 3:11 There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; 3:12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.\u2019 (NASB)<\/span> His point was that righteousness is a gift of God, but this does not exclude us from living righteously before the Lord in our day to day lives. We should have an ongoing desire that is given from the Lord through the Holy Spirit to live a life of righteousness. This is what he meant when he wrote in<\/span> Romans 3:28 \u201cFor we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law\u201d <\/span>and then saying <\/span>3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law (NASB)<\/span>? It is when we rest in Yeshua and His finished work that God empowers us by the Holy Spirit to live a life that <\/span>\u201cestablishes the Law\u201d <\/span>as it says in <\/span>Romans 3:31.<\/span> The Lord God is working to build a relationship with us first and foremost so that we become His people and He would be Our God (<\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b8\u05d9\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b8\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05dc\u05b5\u05d0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b5\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05bc-\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05dd<\/span>). Based upon these scriptures, the Messiah come to bring righteous standing before the Father by faith; then we, as His people, strive to live a righteous life by faith (<\/span>Romans 3:31<\/span>) according to the Torah. <\/span><\/p>\n

    David continues saying <\/span>\u05d3 \u05d4\u05b2\u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05e4\u05bc\u05b9\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b8\u05d5\u05b6\u05df \u05d0\u05b9\u05db\u05b0\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9 \u05e2\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b8\u05db\u05b0\u05dc\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b6\u05d7\u05b6\u05dd \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05e7\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc:<\/span> 14:4 Do all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord? (NASB)<\/span> Those who work evil in their lives, eat up the people of God as bread and do not call upon the Lord. There seems to be a parallel with having table fellowship (eating bread) where the wicked do not bless the Lord in the provision of food, whereas God\u2019s people call upon the name of the Lord and give thanks. The rabbis translate this verse in the Targum (Aramaic) saying <\/span>\u05d3 \u05d4\u05dc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05d9\u05d3\u05e2\u05d5 \u05d9\u05d3\u05e2\u05d9\u05df \u05db\u05dc \u05e2\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9 \u05e9\u05e7\u05e8 \u05e1\u05e2\u05d5\u05d3\u05d9 \u05e2\u05de\u05d9 \u05e1\u05e2\u05d3\u05d5 \u05dc\u05d7\u05de\u05d0 \u05e9\u05de\u05d0 \u05d3\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d0 \u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05c3<\/span> 14:4 Do they not know, all doers of falsehood? Those among my people who dine have dined on bread [and] not blessed the name of the Lord. (EMC)<\/span> They find a similar parallel and translate this verse to say that the workers of falsehood who dine and eat bread do not bless the name of the Lord. There is no fellowship with the wicked and the righteous. The LXX says <\/span>14:4 \u03bf\u1f50\u03c7\u1f76 \u03b3\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bf\u1f31 \u1f10\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03b6\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9 \u03c4\u1f74\u03bd \u1f00\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03af\u03b1\u03bd \u03bf\u1f31 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03af\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd \u03bb\u03b1\u03cc\u03bd \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b2\u03c1\u03ce\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9 \u1f04\u03c1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd \u03ba\u03cd\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd \u03bf\u1f50\u03ba \u1f10\u03c0\u03b5\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03ad\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf <\/span>14:4 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord. (LXX) <\/span>The rabbis translating the Hebrew text into Greek follow a more literal translation saying <\/span>\u201cdo not all the workers of iniquity know, they consume my people, they consume bread, they do not call upon the Lord.\u201d<\/span> This is very interesting on how the verse in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 14:4<\/span> is translated, the wicked do not bless the Lord in the bread that is before them and that they are able to commit wicked deeds against God\u2019s people and then sit down and eat. The wicked do not recognize the bread that is a gift from God above; a parallel is found in the true bread from heaven, the wicked do not recognize Yeshua the Messiah, the bread that our Father in heaven has provided for each and every one of us. There is a certain condemnation that the wicked are calling upon themselves by sitting down and eating, while destroying the people of God and not calling upon the name of the Lord. As a result of this, <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 14:5<\/span> says <\/span>\u05d4 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05dd | \u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05d7\u05b2\u05d3\u05d5\u05bc \u05e4\u05b8\u05d7\u05b7\u05d3 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8 \u05e6\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7: \u05d5 \u05e2\u05b2\u05e6\u05b7\u05ea-\u05e2\u05b8\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05ea\u05b8\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05de\u05b7\u05d7\u05b0\u05e1\u05b5\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc: <\/span> 14:5 There they are in great dread, For God is with the righteous generation. 14:6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted, But the Lord is his refuge. (NASB)<\/span> Because of this the wicked come under dread \/ fear (<\/span>\u05e4\u05b8\u05d7\u05b7\u05d3<\/span>) because the Lord is with this righteous generation of people. The Aramaic Targum says <\/span>\u05d4 \u05ea\u05de\u05df \u05d3\u05d7\u05dc\u05d5 \u05d3\u05d7\u05dc\u05d0 \u05d3\u05dc\u05d7\u05d5 \u05d3\u05dc\u05d5\u05d7\u05d0 \u05d3\u05e9\u05e7\u05e8 \u05d3\u05dc\u05d0 \u05d7\u05de\u05d9 \u05dc\u05de\u05d3\u05dc\u05d7 \u05de\u05d8\u05d5\u05dc \u05d3\u05de\u05d9\u05de\u05e8\u05d0 \u05d3\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d1\u05d3\u05e8\u05d0 \u05d3\u05e6\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7\u05d9\u05c3 \u05d5 \u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05ea \u05e2\u05e0\u05d9\u05d0 \u05d3\u05de\u05db\u05d9\u05db\u05df \u05d3\u05de\u05db\u05e1\u05df \u05dc\u05d4\u05d5\u05df \u05ea\u05d1\u05d4\u05ea\u05d5\u05df \u05de\u05d8\u05d5\u05dc \u05d3\u05e9\u05d5\u05d9 \u05d1\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05e1\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05d4\u05c3<\/span> 14:5 There they became afraid because the word of the Lord is in the generation of the righteous. 14:6 You will despise the counsel of the poor man, because he has placed his hope in the Lord. (EMC)<\/span> The wicked despise the counsel of the poor because their hope is in the Lord. (<\/span>Note the wealthy do not call upon the Lord because their hope and trust is in their wealth thereby making them unrighteous.<\/span>) Studying these verses, there is certain condemnation for the person who does not examine himself before God, who does not bless the name of the Lord, and who is set to work sin in his life to destroy the people of God. The Aramaic translation says the wicked become afraid because the <\/span>\u201cword of the Lord\u201d<\/span> is in the generation of the righteous. The way the wicked behave before the Lord reminds us of something the Apostle Paul wrote in the Apostolic Writings in <\/span>1 Corinthians 11:22-34<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

    1 Corinthians 11:22-34<\/span><\/p>\n

    11:22 What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you. 11:23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; 11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, \u2018This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.\u2019 11:25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, \u2018This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.\u2019 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord\u2019s death until He comes. <\/span>11:27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 11:28 But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 11:29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.<\/span> 11:30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. 11:31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. 11:32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. 11:33 So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 11:34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Paul was admonishing the people of what he had heard when they gathered together for the Passover meal. He asks whether they have houses in which to eat and drink because they come together in remembrance of the deliverance of God what Yeshua had done laying down his life. Some gather together and eat and drink until they are drunk. (<\/span>Have you ever heard of the tradition to get drunk on Passover night?<\/span>) These people seem to follow the pattern of the wicked in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 14:4,<\/span> they sit and eat bread and do not bless the name of the Lord.
