“Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. Withdraw: or, Let thy foot be seldom in weary: Heb. full of thee”
Proverbs 25:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:17
Withdraw your foot from your neighbor's house, lest he weary of you and hate you. The Hebrew 'yaqar' (rare/precious/honor) your foot and 'quwts' (loathe/be grieved) warns against overstaying welcome. Even good friendships need space. Constant presence breeds contempt; appropriate distance maintains appreciation. This verse teaches relational wisdom: respect boundaries, don't overstay, give space. Familiarity can breed contempt without intentional boundaries.
