31Â Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
32Â For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34Â He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
35Â The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.
