Proverbs - 25:17 Meaning

“Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

25:17-18 We cannot be upon good terms with our neighbours, without discretion as well as sincerity. How much better a Friend is God than any other friend! The oftener we come to him, the more welcome. 18. A false testimony is dangerous in every thing.

“For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.”
