| 30 | Don’t pick a fight without reason, when no one has done you 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 | Don’t envy violent people or copy their 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 | Such wicked people are detestable to the LORD, but he offers his friendship to the godly. | 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 LORD curses the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the upright. | 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 | The LORD mocks the mockers but is gracious 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 inherit honor, but fools are put to shame! | The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. | The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame. | |
