| 29 | Do not devise evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells in peace beside you. | 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 | Do not contend with a man without a cause, if he has done you no harm. | 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 | Do not envy a wicked man, and choose none of 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 the wicked man is an abomination in the presence of the LORD: but the secret of the LORD is with the upright. | 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 | The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked; but he blesses the habitation of the righteous. | 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 | Surely he despises scorners; but he has compassion on the wise. | 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 | Wise men shall inherit glory; but fools shall receive disgrace. | The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. | The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame. | |
