TSK · James 3:9

Then God said,“Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness, so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.”

“Whoever sheds human blood, by other humans must his blood be shed; for in God’s image God has made humankind.”

Shimei Curses David and His Men Then King David reached Bahurim. There a man from Saul’s extended family named Shimei son of Gera came out, yelling curses as he approached.

David Praises the Lord David praised the LORD before the entire assembly:“O LORD God of our father Israel, you deserve praise forevermore!

His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.

So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will always give thanks to you.

Then I will tell others about your justice, and praise you all day long.

Awake, my soul! Awake, O stringed instrument and harp! I will wake up at dawn!

They spend all their time planning how to bring him down. They love to use deceit; they pronounce blessings with their mouths, but inwardly they utter curses.(Selah)

All day long my tongue will also tell about your justice, for those who want to harm me will be embarrassed and ashamed.

He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.

My mouth will praise the LORD. Let all who live praise his holy name forever!

The Lord says,“These people say they are loyal to me; they say wonderful things about me, but they are not really loyal to me. Their worship consists of nothing but man-made ritual.

At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath,“I do not know the man!” At that moment a rooster crowed.

“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
