29Do not plot harm against your neighbor,

who lives trustfully near you.

30Do not accuse a man for no reason—

when he has done you no harm.

31Do not envy a violent man

or choose any of his ways,

32for the Lord detests a perverse man

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 gives grace to the humble.

35The wise inherit honor,

but fools he holds up to shame.
