27 (A)Do not withhold good from [a]those to whom it is due,
When it is in your hand to do it.
28 (B)Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When it is there with you.
29 (C)Do not devise [b]harm against your neighbor,
While he lives securely beside you.
30 (D)Do not contend with a man without cause,
If he has dealt you no [c]harm.
31 (E)Do not envy a man of violence
And do not choose any of his ways.
32 For the (F)devious one is an abomination to Yahweh;
But His (G)secret council is with the upright.

for those who live nearby trust you.
30 Don’t pick a fight without reason,
when no one has done you harm.

but he offers his friendship to the godly.
