Proverbs 3:27-35 ▼

27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your hand to do it.

28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it,” When it is there with you.

29 Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely beside you.

30 Do not contend with a man without cause, If he has dealt you no harm.

31 Do not envy a man of violence And do not choose any of his ways.

32 For the devious one is an abomination to Yahweh; But His secret council is with the upright.

33 The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked one, But He blesses the abode of the righteous.

34 Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the humble.

35 The wise will inherit glory, But fools raise up disgrace.
