Proverbs 3:24-35 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

24. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

25. Do not be afraid of sudden fear Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes;

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 your power to do it.

28. Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it," When you have it with you.

29. Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely beside you.

30. Do not contend with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm.

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

32. For the devious are an abomination to the Lord; But He is intimate with the upright.

33. The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the dwelling of the righteous.

34. Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the afflicted.

35. The wise will inherit honor, But fools display dishonor.
