26 for the Lord will be your confidence
    and will (A)keep your foot from being caught.
27 (B)Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[a]
    when it is in your power to do it.

28 (C)Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
    tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
29 (D)Do not plan evil against your neighbor,
    who (E)dwells trustingly beside you.
30 (F)Do not contend with a man for no reason,
    when he has done you no harm.
31 (G)Do not envy (H)a man of violence
    and do not choose any of his ways,
32 for (I)the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
    but the upright are (J)in his confidence.
