Proverbs 3:24-35 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

24. when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet.

25. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh;

26. for Jehovah shall be thy confidence, and he will keep thy foot from being taken.

27. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

28. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee.

29. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

30. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

31. Envy not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.

32. For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; but his secret is with the upright.

33. The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; but he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.

34. He indeed scorneth the scorners; but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

35. The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of the foolish.
