Proverbs 3:27-32

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁷ Do not hold back anything good
from those who are entitled to it
when you have the power to do so.
²⁸ When you have the good thing with you, do not tell your neighbor,
“Go away!
Come back tomorrow.
I’ll give you something then.”

²⁹ Do not plan to do something wrong to your neighbor
while he is sitting there with you and suspecting nothing.
³⁰ Do not quarrel with a person for no reason
if he has not harmed you.
³¹ Do not envy a violent person.
Do not choose any of his ways.
³² The devious person is disgusting to the Lord.
The Lord’s intimate advice is with decent people.
