31Envy thou not the man of violence,
And choose none of his ways.
32For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah;
But his friendship is with the upright.
33The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked;
But he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
34Surely he scoffeth at the scoffers;
But he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35The wise shall inherit glory;
But shame shall be the promotion of fools.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Do not envy a man of violence
and do not choose any of his ways,
for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence.
The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
Toward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he gives favor.
The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get disgrace.

Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Do not envy a man of violence,
and do not choose any of his ways,
for he who is perverse is an abomination of Yahweh,
but those who are upright are his confidence.
The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked,
and the abode of the righteous ones he blesses.
With those who scorn, he is scornful,
but to those who are humble, he gives favor.
They will inherit the honor of the wise,
but stubborn fools, disgrace.

KJV 1900King James Version
Envy thou not the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways.
For the froward is abomination to the Lord:
But his secret is with the righteous.
The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked:
But he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Surely he scorneth the scorners:
But he giveth grace unto the lowly.
The wise shall inherit glory:
But shame shall be the promotion of fools.
