3:27 Do not withhold good from those who need it, 1
when 2 you 3 have the ability 4 to help. 5
3:28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go! Return tomorrow
and I will give it,” when 6 you have it with you at the time. 7
3:29 Do not plot 8 evil against your neighbor
when 9 he dwells by you unsuspectingly.
3:30 Do not accuse 10 anyone 11 without legitimate cause, 12
if he has not treated you wrongly.
3:31 Do not envy a violent man, 13
and do not choose to imitate 14 any of his ways;
3:32 for one who goes astray 15 is an abomination 16 to the Lord,
but he reveals 17 his intimate counsel 18 to the upright.
3:33 The Lord’s curse 19 is on the household 20 of the wicked, 21
but he blesses 22 the home 23 of the righteous. 24
3:34 Although 25 he is scornful to arrogant scoffers, 26
yet 27 he shows favor to the humble. 28
3:35 The wise inherit honor,
but he holds fools up 29 to public contempt. 30
