²⁹ ¶ Intend none hurt against thy neighbor, seeing he doth dwell ^[a]without fear by thee.

6 1 Instruction for sureties. 6 The slothful and sluggish is stirred to work. 12 He describeth the nature of the wicked. 16 The things that God hateth. 20 To observe the word of God. 24 To flee adultery.

¹ My son, if thou be surety for thy neighbor, and hast stricken hands with the stranger,

³ Do this now, my Son, and deliver thyself: seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor, go, and humble thyself, and solicit thy friends.

²⁹ A wicked man deceiveth his neighbor, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

¹⁰ The soul of the wicked wisheth evil, and his neighbor hath no favor in his eyes.

¹⁷ Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee.

¹⁰ Thine own friend and thy father’s friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brother’s ^[a]house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.

¹⁴ He that ^[a]praiseth his friend with a loud voice, rising ^[b]early in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse.
