Proverbs 3:29

Lighthouse Bible 2006

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

See the chapter Copy

For they do not speak peace: but they devise deceitful purposes against those who are quiet in the land.

He has put forth his hands against those who are 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 those who devise good.

Perverseness is in his heart, he devises trouble continually; he sows discord.

A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that be swift in running to evil,

And do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, 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.
