Proverbs 3:26–28

26 for the Lord will be at your side

and will keep your foot from being snared.

27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,

when it is in your power to act.

28 Do not say to your neighbor,

“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—

when you already have it with you.

26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence,

And shall keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,

When it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

28 Say not unto thy neighbour,

Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give;

When thou hast it by thee.

26 for the Lord is your security.

He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.

27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it

when it’s in your power to help them.

28 If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say,

“Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

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 the power of your hand to do so.

28 Do not say to your neighbor,

“Go, and come back,

And tomorrow I will give it,”

When you have it with you.

26 because the Lord will keep you safe.

He will keep you from being trapped.

27 Whenever you are able,

do good to people who need help.

28 If you have what your neighbor asks for,

don’t say, “Come back later.

I will give it to you tomorrow.”

26 For Jehovah will be thy confidence,

And will keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,

When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

28 Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again,

And to-morrow I will give;

When thou hast it by thee.

26 for Jehovah shall be thy confidence, and he will keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it. 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee.

26 The Lord will be your confidence. 

He will keep your foot from getting caught. 

27 Do not hold back anything good 

from those who are entitled to it 

when you have the power to do so. 

28 When you have the good thing with you, do not tell your neighbor, 

“Go away! 

Come back tomorrow. 

I’ll give you something then.” 

26 for the Lord will be your confidence

and will keep your foot from a snare.

27 When it is in your power,

don’t withhold good from the one it belongs to.

28 Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go away! Come back later.

I’ll give it tomorrow”—when it is there with you.

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 again;

tomorrow I will give it,” when you have it with you.

26 Yahweh will be your confidence

and guard your foot from capture.

27 Do not withhold good from its owner

when it is in the power of your hand to do.

28 Do not say to your neighbor,

“Go and return and tomorrow I will give it,”

when it is with you.

26 The Lord is the one you will trust in.

He will keep your feet from being caught in a trap.

27 Don’t hold back good from those who are worthy of it.

Don’t hold it back when you can help.

28 Suppose you have something to give.

Don’t say to your neighbor,

“Come back later.

I’ll give it to you tomorrow.”

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.
