25
Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26
For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.
27
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
28
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.
30
Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm.
31
Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways;
32
For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord, But His secret counsel is with the upright.
33
The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just.
34
Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.
35
The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
