²⁷ Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
    when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
²⁸ Do not say to your neighbor,
    “Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give it,”
    when you have it with you.
²⁹ Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
    seeing he dwells securely by you.
³⁰ Do not strive with a man without cause,
    if he has done you no harm.

³¹ Do not envy the oppressor,
    and choose none of his ways;
³² for the perverse is an abomination to the Lord,
    but His secret counsel is with the righteous.

² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
    but righteousness delivers from death.

11 A false balance is abomination to the Lord,
    but a just weight is His delight.

³ He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
    but he who opens wide his lips will have destruction.

¹¹ Wealth gained by vanity will be diminished,
    but he who gathers by labor will increase.
