Don’t be devious

Proverbs 3:27-35 (JDV).

Proverbs 3:27 When it is in your power, don’t withhold good from the one to whom it belongs.
Proverbs 3:28 Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go away! Come back later. I’ll give it tomorrow” — when it is there with you.
Proverbs 3:29 Don’t plan any harm against your neighbor, because he trusts you and lives near you.
Proverbs 3:30 Don’t accuse anyone without cause, when he has done you no harm.
Proverbs 3:31 Don’t envy a violent man or choose any of his roads;
Proverbs 3:32 for the devious are detestable to Yahveh, but he is a friend to the upright.
Proverbs 3:33 Yahveh’s curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous;
Proverbs 3:34 He mocks those who mock, but gives grace to the humble.
Proverbs 3:35 The wise will inherit honor, but he holds up fools to dishonor.

Don’t be devious

Intentionally bringing harm on others, or withholding good to them is detestable to Yahveh. He wants us to demonstrate his love, and when we choose another approach, we bring dishonor to him. God will mpt bless the home of someone like that, no matter how many wall hangings we have with Bible verses on them.
