“Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Devise: or, Practise no evil”
Proverbs 3:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 3:29
Devising harm against trusting neighbors is wicked. The Hebrew 'charash' (devise/plot) indicates deliberate scheming, while 'betach' (dwells securely/trustingly) describes vulnerability. Betraying someone who trusts you multiplies wickedness - you exploit their vulnerability. This verse condemns predatory relationships where trust becomes weapon. God's people must be trustworthy, especially toward those who depend on us.
