²⁹ Don’t devise evil against your neighbor,
    since he dwells securely by you.

³ Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself,
    since you have come into the hand of your neighbor.
Go, humble yourself.
    Press your plea with your neighbor.

²⁹ A man of violence entices his neighbor,
    and leads him in a way that is not good.

¹⁰ The soul of the wicked desires evil;
    his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

¹⁷ Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house,
    lest he be weary of you, and hate you.

¹⁰ Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
    Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
    A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.

¹⁴ He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
    it will be taken as a curse by him.
