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.

² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:
    but righteousness delivereth from death.

11 A false balance is abomination to the Lord:
    but a just weight is his delight.

³ He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
    but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

¹¹ Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:
    but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

² He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord:
    but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

⁵ A faithful witness will not lie:
    but a false witness will utter lies.

²⁷ He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
    but he that hateth gifts shall live.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged:
    and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

⁸ Better is a little with righteousness
    than great revenues without right.
