^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.

11 A ^(A)deceptive balance is an abomination to Yahweh,
But a ^(B)just weight is His delight.

³ The one who ^(A)guards his mouth keeps his soul;
The one who ^(B)opens wide his lips ^[a]comes to ruin.

¹¹ Wealth obtained from empty effort dwindles,
But the one who gathers ^[a]with his hand abounds.

² He who ^(A)walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh,
But he who is ^(B)devious in his ways despises Him.

⁵ A ^(A)faithful witness will not lie,
But a ^(B)false witness ^(C)breathes out lies.

²⁷ He who is ^(A)greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who ^(B)hates gifts of bribery will live.

⁶ By ^(A)lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for,
And by the ^[a](B)fear of Yahweh one turns away from evil.
