Proverbs 3:26-35 Modern English Version (MEV)

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 it.

28. Do not say to your neighbor,“Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give it,”when you have it with you.

29. Do not devise evil against your neighbor,seeing he dwells securely by you.

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 is an abomination to the Lord,but His secret counsel is with the righteous.

33. The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,but He blesses the habitation of the just.

34. Surely He scorns the scornful,but He gives favor to the humble.

35. The wise will inherit glory,but shame will be the legacy of fools.
