No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected.

Foolish people won’t be considered noble anymore. Those who are worthless won’t be highly respected.

The fool will no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.

In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes. Scoundrels will not be respected.

A fool will no longer be called a noble, nor a scoundrel said to be important.

The foolish person will no longer be called generous, Nor the miser said to be bountiful;

The fool shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

( now the man’s name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings, and he was a Calebite),that David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men,“ Go up to Carmel and visit Nabal, and greet him in my name;and this is what you shall say:‘ Have a long life, peace to you, and peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!Now then, I have heard that you have shearers. Now, your shepherds have been with us; we have not harmed them, nor has anything of theirs gone missing all the days they were in Carmel.Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.’ ”

So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

A despicable person is despised in his eyes, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He takes an oath to his own detriment, and does not change;

Do not eat the bread of a selfish person; Or desire his delicacies;For as he thinks within himself, so he is. He says to you,“ Eat and drink!” But his heart is not with you.You will vomit up the morsel you have eaten And waste your compliments.

Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and stupidity is with him; but I your slave did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.
