Proverbs 3:27-32

Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ When it is in your power,^[a]
don’t withhold good^(A) from the one to whom it belongs.
²⁸ Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go away! Come back later.
I’ll give it tomorrow”—when it is there with you.^(B)
29 Don’t plan any harm against your neighbor,^(C)
for he trusts you and lives near you.
³⁰ Don’t accuse anyone without cause,^(D)
when he has done you no harm.
³¹ Don’t envy a violent man^(E)
or choose any of his ways;
³² for the devious are detestable to the Lord,
but he is a friend^[b] to the upright.^(F)
