Proverbs 3:28-34
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 3

28Do not say to your neighbor, 'Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it to you,' When you have it with you. 29Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely beside you. 30Do not contend with a person for no reason, If he has done you no harm. 31Do not envy a violent person, And do not choose any of his ways. 32For the devious are an abomination to the Lord; But He is intimate with the upright. 33The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the righteous. 34Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the needy.
King James Version

Chapter 3

28Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
33The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 3

28Don’t say to your neighbor, "Go away! Come back later. I’ll give it tomorrow"—when it is there with you. 29Don’t plan any harm against your neighbor, for he trusts you and lives near you. 30Don’t accuse anyone without cause, when he has done you no harm. 31Don’t envy a violent man or choose any of his ways; 32for the devious are detestable to the Lord, but he is a friend to the upright. 33The Lord’s curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous; 34He mocks those who mock, but gives grace to the humble.
New Living Translation

Chapter 3

28If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, 'Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.'
29Don’t plot harm against your neighbor, for those who live nearby trust you. 30Don’t pick a fight without reason, when no one has done you harm.
31Don’t envy violent people or copy their ways. 32Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord, but he offers his friendship to the godly.
33The Lord curses the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the upright.
34The Lord mocks the mockers but is gracious to the humble.
English Standard Version

Chapter 3

28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it" — when you have it with you. 29 Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you. 30 Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm. 31 Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways, 32for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence. 33 The Lord 's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous. 34Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor.
New International Version

Chapter 3

28Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you"— when you already have it with you. 29Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
30Do not accuse anyone for no reason— when they have done you no harm.
31Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. 32For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. 33The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. 34He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
New King James Version

Chapter 3

28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it,” When you have it with you. 29Do 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; 32For 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.
