²⁹ Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

6 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

³ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

²⁹ A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

¹⁰ The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

¹⁷ Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

¹⁴ He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
