27 Do not withhold him from doing good, who is able: if thou art able, do good thyself also. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.
28 Say not to thy friend: Go, and come again: and to morrow I will give to thee: when thou canst give at present. Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you|— when you already have it with you.
29 Practise not evil against thy friend, when he hath confidence in thee. Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you. Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
30 Strive not against a man without cause, when he hath done thee no evil. Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm. Do not accuse anyone for no reason— when they have done you no harm.
31 Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways: Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways, Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.
32 For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple. for the devious person is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence. For the LORD detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 Want is from the Lord in the house of the wicked: but the habitations of the just shall be blessed. The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous. The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 He shall scorn the scorners, and to the meek he will give grace. Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor. He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
35 The wise shall possess glory: the promotion of fools is disgrace. The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
