27 Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of 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 Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by 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 Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by 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 Don’t strive with a man without 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 Don’t envy the man of violence. 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 perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his friendship 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 Yahweh’s curse 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 mocks the mockers, but 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 shame will be the promotion of fools. The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
