Proverbs 3:30–32

30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason—

when they have done you no harm.

31 Do not envy the violent

or choose any of their ways.

32 For the Lord detests the perverse

but takes the upright into his confidence.

30 Do not contend with a man for no reason,

when 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 person is an abomination to the Lord,

but the upright are in his confidence.

30 Strive not with a man without cause,

If he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the oppressor,

And choose none of his ways.

32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord:

But his secret is with the righteous.

30 Do not strive with a man without cause,

If he has done you no harm.

31 Do not envy the oppressor,

And choose none of his ways;

32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,

But His secret counsel is with the upright.

30 Don’t accuse a person for no good reason;

don’t accuse someone who has not harmed you.

31 Don’t be jealous of those who use violence,

and don’t choose to be like them.

32 The Lord hates those who do wrong,

but he is a friend to those who are honest.

30 Strive not with a man without cause,

If he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the man of violence,

And choose none of his ways.

32 For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah;

But his friendship is with the upright.

30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. 31 Envy not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways. 32 For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; but his secret is with the upright.

30 Do not quarrel with a person for no reason 

if he has not harmed you. 

31 Do not envy a violent person. 

Do not choose any of his ways. 

32 The devious person is disgusting to the Lord. 

The Lord’s intimate advice is with decent people. 

30 Don’t accuse anyone without cause,

when he has done you no harm.

31 Don’t envy a violent man

or choose any of his ways;

32 for the devious are detestable to the Lord,

but He is a friend to the upright.

30 Do not quarrel with anyone without cause,

when no harm has been done to you.

31 Do not envy the violent,

and do not choose any of their ways,

32 for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord,

but the upright are in his confidence.

30 Do not quarrel with anyone without cause,

when he did not do you harm.

31 Do not envy a man of violence,

and do not choose any of his ways,

32 for he who is perverse is an abomination of Yahweh,

but those who are upright are his confidence.

30 Don’t bring charges against a man without any reason.

He has not harmed you.

31 Don’t be jealous of a man who hurts others.

Don’t choose any of his ways.

32 The Lord really hates sinful people.

But he makes honest people his closest friends.

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.
