Proverbs 3:27-35

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

28Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it"—when you have it with you.

29Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you.

30Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm.

31Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways,

32for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence.

33The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.

34Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor.

35The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace.
