Proverbs 3:27-34
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[a]
when it is in your power to do it.
28 Do not say to your neighbour, ‘Go, and come again;
tomorrow I will give it’—when you have it with you.
29 Do not plan harm against your neighbour
who lives trustingly beside you.
30 Do not quarrel with anyone without cause,
when no harm has been done to you.
31 Do not envy the violent
and do not choose any of their ways;
32 for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence.
33 The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the abode of the righteous.
34 Towards the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he shows favour.

A Lamp under a Jar
16 ‘No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. 18 Then pay attention to how you listen; for to those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away.’
