Proverbs 3:27-35

27Do not withhold good from those who need it, when you have the ability to help.

28Do not say to your neighbor, “Go! Return tomorrow and I will give it,” when you have it with you at the time.

29Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly.

30Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause, if he has not treated you wrongly.

31Do not envy a violent man, and do not choose to imitate any of his ways;

32for one who goes astray is an abomination to the Lord, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.

33The Lord’s curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.

34Although he is scornful to arrogant scoffers, yet he shows favor to the humble.

35The wise inherit honor, but he holds fools up to public contempt.
