Proverbs 3:31 - Compare All Versions

Deli

Don’t walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight. Don’t try to be like those who shoulder their way through life. Why be a bully? “Why not?” you say. Because GOD can’t stand twisted souls. It’s the straightforward who get his respect.

Envy thou not the oppressor, And choose none of his ways.

Do not envy a man of violence And do not choose any of his ways.

Don’t be jealous of those who use violence, and don’t choose to be like them.

Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.

Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.

Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways

Do not envy a man of violence And do not choose any of his ways. [Ps 37:1; 73:3; Prov 24:1]

Don’t envy violent people or copy their ways.

Don’t act like those bullies or learn their ways.

Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways
