The Morning Psalm

Proverbs 25:17

King James Version

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
Proverbs 25:17, KJV

Proverbs 25:17 in context

15By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

16Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

17Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

18A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

19Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
