27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,*
when it is in your power to do it.
28 Do not say to your neighbour, Go, and come again;
tomorrow I will give itwhen you have it with you.
29 Do not plan harm against your neighbour
who lives trustingly beside you.
30 Do not quarrel with anyone without cause,
when no harm has been done to you.
31 Do not envy the violent
and do not choose any of their ways;
32 for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence.
33 The Lords curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the abode of the righteous.
34 Towards the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he shows favour.
35 The wise will inherit honour,
but stubborn fools, disgrace.
