Proverbs 3:24-33

²⁴When you rest, you won't be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

²⁵You won't be afraid of a sudden panic, or of disasters that hit the wicked,

²⁶for the Lord will be the one you can trust in, and he will prevent you being caught in a trap.

²⁷Don't hold back good from those who deserve it when it's something you have the power to do.

²⁸Don't tell your neighbor, “Go away. Come back tomorrow and then I'll give it to you,” when you've already got it.

²⁹Don't plan to harm your neighbor who lives nearby and trusts you.

³⁰Don't quarrel with anybody for no reason, when they haven't done anything to hurt you.

³¹Don't be jealous of violent people—don't choose to follow their example!

³²For the Lord hates deceitful people, but he is a friend to those who do what is good.

³³The houses of the wicked are cursed by the Lord, but he blesses the homes of those who live right.
