We mustn't plot harm against our neighbors, who lives…
“We mustn't plot harm against our neighbors, who lives trustfully near us, don't accuse a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm ! Why do we envy a violent man or choose any of his ways? Because the LORD detests a perverse man, but takes the upright into his confidence. The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous ! He mocks proud people who likes to brag, but he gives grace to the humble. The wise inherit honor, but the fools he holds up to shame !!”
