'Neighbor' in the Bible
Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back,And tomorrow I will give it,”When you have it with you.
Do not devise harm against your neighbor,While he lives securely beside you.
My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor,Have given a pledge for a stranger,
Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself;Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor,Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.
With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
He who despises his neighbor lacks sense,But a man of understanding keeps silent.
The righteous is a guide to his neighbor,But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
The poor is hated even by his neighbor,But those who love the rich are many.
He who despises his neighbor sins,But happy is he who is gracious to the poor.
A man of violence entices his neighborAnd leads him in a way that is not good.
A man lacking in sense pledgesAnd becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.
The soul of the wicked desires evil;His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,And do not deceive with your lips.
Do not go out hastily to argue your case;Otherwise, what will you do in the end,When your neighbor humiliates you?
Argue your case with your neighbor,And do not reveal the secret of another,
Like a club and a sword and a sharp arrowIs a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.
So is the man who deceives his neighbor,And says, “Was I not joking?”
Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
A man who flatters his neighborIs spreading a net for his steps.
