[:en]THE DON’TS:
“Do not envy wicked men, do not desire their company; for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble” (vs. 1-2)
“Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against a righteous man’s house, do not raid his welling place; for though a righteous man fails seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity” (vs. 15-16)
“Do not gloat when your enemy fails; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him” (vs. 17-18)
“Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of the wicked, for the evil man has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out” (vs. 19-20)
“Do not join with the rebellious, for those two will send sudden destruction upon them and who knows what calamities they can bring?” (vs. 21-22)

THE DO’S:
“Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter” (v. 1)

“Finish your outdoor work and get your fields ready; after that, build your house” (v. 27)
