Proverbs 3:27-32
1599 Geneva Bible
27 ¶ Withhold not the good from [a]the owners thereof, though there be power in [thine] hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbor, Go and come again, and tomorrow will I give thee, if thou now have it.
29 ¶ Intend none hurt against thy neighbor, seeing he doth dwell [b]without fear by thee.
30 ¶ Strive not with a man causeless, when he hath done thee no harm.
31 ¶ Be not [c]envious for the wicked man, neither choose any of his ways,
32 For the froward is abomination unto the Lord: but his [d]secret is with the righteous.
