Proverbs 3:27-32
Authorized (King James) Version
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,
when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour,
Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give;
when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour,
seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause,
if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor,
and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord:
but his secret is with the righteous.
Proverbs 3:27-32
