Proverbs 3:27-35

27Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.1 28Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. 29Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.2

30Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

31Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.3 32For the perverse is abomination to Yhwh: but his secret counsel is with the righteous.

33The curse of Yhwh is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. 34Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. 35The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.4
