Proverbs 3:27-35 ▼

27 Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

28 Say not unto thy neighbour: 'Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give'; when thou hast it by thee.

29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

30 Strive not with a man without cause, If he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.

32 For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; But His counsel is with the upright.

33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked; But He blesseth the habitation of the righteous.

34 If it concerneth the scorners, He scorneth them, But unto the humble He giveth grace.

35 The wise shall inherit honour; But as for the fools, they carry away shame.
