27  ^lDo not withhold good from those to whom it is due,¹

when it is in your power to do it.

28  ^mDo not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,

tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.

18  There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,

but the tongue of the wise ^lbrings healing.

25  ^pAnxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down,

but a good word makes him glad.
