²⁷ Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
    when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
²⁸ Do not say to your neighbor,
    “Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give it,”
    when you have it with you.
²⁹ Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
    seeing he dwells securely by you.
³⁰ Do not strive with a man without cause,
    if he has done you no harm.

³¹ Do not envy the oppressor,
    and choose none of his ways;
³² for the perverse is an abomination to the Lord,
    but His secret counsel is with the righteous.

² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
    but righteousness delivers from death.

11 A false balance is abomination to the Lord,
    but a just weight is His delight.

³ He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
    but he who opens wide his lips will have destruction.

¹¹ Wealth gained by vanity will be diminished,
    but he who gathers by labor will increase.

² He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
    but he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.

⁵ A faithful witness will not lie,
    but a false witness will utter lies.

²⁷ He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house,
    but he who hates bribes will live.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged;
    and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

⁸ Better is a little with righteousness
    than great revenues with injustice.
