Proverbs 3:28

GenerosityIntegrityWaiting on God

26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from the snare.

27 Do not withhold good from the deserving when it is within your power to act.

Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”— when you already have the means.

29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he trustfully dwells beside you.

30 Do not accuse a man without cause, when he has done you no harm.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
