Proverbs 3:29

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

See the chapter Copy

Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; He soweth discord.

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, Feet that be swift in running to mischief,

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 hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: He hath 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 neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

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