Proverbs 3:31–35

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.

Don’t envy a violent man

or choose any of his ways;

for the devious are detestable to the Lord,

but he is a friend to the upright.

The Lord’s curse is on the household of the wicked,

but he blesses the home of the righteous;

He mocks those who mock

but gives grace to the humble.

The wise will inherit honor,

but he holds up fools to dishonor.

Don’t envy violent people

or copy their ways.

Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord,

but he offers his friendship to the godly.

The Lord curses the house of the wicked,

but he blesses the home of the upright.

The Lord mocks the mockers

but is gracious to the humble.

The wise inherit honor,

but fools are put to shame!

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.

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.
