Proverbs 3:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 3:31

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

30 ^aDo not strive with a man without cause,
If he has done you no harm.

31 ^aDo not envy the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways;

32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,
^aBut His secret counsel is with the upright.

33 ^aThe curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
But ^bHe blesses the home of the just.
