Proverbs 3:27-35

27Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due [its rightful recipients], When it is in your power to do it.

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

29Do not devise evil against your neighbor, Who lives securely beside you.

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

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

32For the devious are repulsive to the Lord; But His private counsel is with the upright [those with spiritual integrity and moral courage].

33The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just and righteous.

34Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners, Yet He gives His grace [His undeserved favor] to the humble [those who give up self-importance].

35The wise will inherit honor and glory, But dishonor and shame is conferred on fools.
