Mishlei (Pro) 3:21-35

My son, don’t let these slip from your sight; preserve common sense and discretion; they will be life for your being and grace for your neck. Then you will walk your way securely, without hurting your foot. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Don’t be afraid of sudden terror or destruction caused by the wicked, when it comes; for you can rely on ADONAI; he will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. Don’t withhold good from someone entitled to it when you have in hand the power to do it. Don’t tell your neighbor, “Go away! Come another time; I’ll give it to you tomorrow,” when you have it now. Don’t plan harm against your neighbor who lives beside you trustingly. Don’t quarrel with someone for no reason, if he has done you no harm. Don’t envy a man of violence, don’t choose any of his ways; for the perverse is an abomination to ADONAI, but he shares his secret counsel with the upright. ADONAI’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. The scornful he scorns, but gives grace to the humble. The wise win honor, but fools win shame.
