Proverbs 3:29

King James 2000

Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.

See the chapter Copy

Perversity is in his heart, he devises evil continually; he sows discord.

A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters 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 imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, says the LORD.

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