Proverbs 3:29

American Standard Version (1901)

Devise not evil against thy neighbor, Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

See the chapter Copy

In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.

A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah.

and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.
