When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
28 (B)Do not say to your neighbor,
“Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,
When you have it with you.
29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
For he dwells by you for safety’s sake.

If he has done you no harm.

31 (D)Do not envy the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways;
32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,
(E)But His secret counsel is with the upright.
