23 Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble. Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be in dread; You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden dread Nor of the storm of the wicked when it comes; Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes, Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 For Yahweh will be your confidence And will keep your foot from being caught. for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught. for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your hand to do it. 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 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it,” When it is there with you. 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 Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely 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 cause, If he has dealt 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 man of violence And do not choose any 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 devious one is an abomination to Yahweh; But His secret council 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 Yahweh is on the house of the wicked one, But He blesses the abode 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 Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the humble. 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 will inherit glory, But fools raise up disgrace. The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
