Proverbs 3:29

New King James Version

Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety’s sake.

See the chapter Copy

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

A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,

For look, they lie in wait for my life; The mighty gather against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord.

He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has broken his covenant.

For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful matters Against the quiet ones in the land.

Do they not go astray who devise evil? But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.

Let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; And do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate,’ Says the Lord.”

Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart Against his brother.’
