30 (A)Do not contend with a man for no reason,
    when he has done you no harm.
31 (B)Do not envy (C)a man of violence
    and do not choose any of his ways,
32 for (D)the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
    but the upright are (E)in his confidence.
33 (F)The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
    but he (G)blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the (H)scorners he (I)is scornful,
    (J)but to the humble he gives favor.[a]
35 The wise will inherit honor,
    but fools get[b] disgrace.
