Proverbs 3:27-35

New American Standard Bible

^27 (A)Do not withhold good from ^[a]those to whom it is due,
When it is in your power to do it.
^28 (B)Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it to you,”
When you have it with you.
^29 (C)Do not devise harm against your neighbor,
While he lives securely beside you.
^30 (D)Do not contend with a person for no reason,
If he has done you no harm.
^31 (E)Do not envy a violent person,
And do not choose any of his ways.
³² For the ^(F)devious are an abomination to the Lord;
But ^[b]He is ^(G)intimate with the upright.
³³ The ^(H)curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
But He ^(I)blesses the home of the righteous.
³⁴ Though ^(J)He scoffs at the scoffers,
Yet ^(K)He gives grace to the needy.
^35 (L)The wise will inherit honor,
But fools ^[c]increase dishonor.
