Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.
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.
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
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,
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.
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.
