Proverbs 3:25-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

25. Do not fear unexpected terror, nor the power of the impious falling upon you.

26. For the Lord will be at your side, and he will guard your feet, so that you may not be seized.

27. Do not prevent him who is able from doing good. When you are able, do good yourself too.

28. Do not say to your friend: "Go away, and then return. Tomorrow I will give to you." When you are able to do so, give in the present.

29. Do not undertake evil against your friend, even though he has trust in you.

30. Do not contend against a man without cause, even though he has done no evil to you.

31. Do not rival an unjust man, and do not imitate his ways.

32. For everyone who ridicules is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is for the simple.

33. Destitution in the house of the impious is from the Lord. But the habitations of the just shall be blessed.

34. He will ridicule those who ridicule, but he will bestow grace upon the mild.

35. The wise will possess glory. The exaltation of the foolish is disgraceful.
