Proverbs 3:23-33

MSG

NIV

23 You'll travel safely, you'll neither tire nor trip.
23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
24 You'll take afternoon naps without a worry, you'll enjoy a good night's sleep.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 No need to panic over alarms or surprises, or predictions that doomsday's just around the corner,
25 Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 Because God will be right there with you; he'll keep you safe and sound.
26 for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.
27 Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God's hand for that person.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.
28 Don't tell your neighbor, "Maybe some other time," or, "Try me tomorrow," when the money's right there in your pocket.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”— when you already have it with you.
29 Don't figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor when he's sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
30 Don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight.
30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason— when they have done you no harm.
31 Don't try to be like those who shoulder their way through life. Why be a bully?
31 Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.
32 "Why not?" you say. Because God can't stand twisted souls. It's the straightforward who get his respect.
32 For the LORD detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 God's curse blights the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
33 The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
