27 Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due,

tomorrow I will give it to you,”
when you have it by you.
29 Don’t devise evil against your neighbor,
since he dwells securely by you.
30 Don’t strive with a man without cause,
if he has done you no harm.

Choose none of his ways.
32 For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh,
but his friendship is with the upright.
