Bible thought: Do not sow in the furrows of injustice, lest you harvest it sevenfold. Ben Sira 7:3

There are many stories in the Bible that tell us the truth of a thought: "Do not sow in the furrows of injustice, lest you harvest it sevenfold," Ben Sira 7:3. The injustice is essentially the disproportionality in dealing with others, injustice is a form of destructiveness.
When we sow a seed of injustice we never know what we are going to reap, and this is a matter of common sense. And a demonstration of this is the story of David and Nabal (1 Samuel 25:1-39). Nabal was a rich man who had his estate in Carmel, and it happened that he sheared his sheep, and David upon finding out, and since he had had good relations with his servants and his estate, sent his men to ask Nabal to share something as proof of their friendship.
But Nabal was unfair and refused any kind of help to David: "´Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days. Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?´" 1 Samuel 25:10-11.
After the answer of Nabal to his men, David took the weapons and went to see Nabal, but on the way, a servant told Nabal's wife: "Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him" 1 Samuel 25:17.
And so it was that Nabal's wife went to meet David with gifts and implored mercy. David forgave the offense, but God did not. The Bible tells us that when Nabal found out what happened between his wife and David, he had a heart attack and died. The riches did not serve of anything to Nabal, Nabal died under the weight of his own sins.
This story is a demonstration of how necessary is for man the science of wisdom to live. At the end of the story David concluded: "Praise be to the LORD, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal's wrongdoing down on his own head" 1 Samuel 25:39.
