18箴言二十五章十七节说，『你的脚要少进邻舍的家，恐怕他厌烦你，就恨恶你。』谄媚邻舍的，就是设网罗绊他的脚。（二九5。）人欺哄邻舍，却说，『我岂不是戏耍么？』他就像疯狂的人抛掷火把、利箭与死亡。（二六18～19。）作假见证指控邻舍的，就像大槌、利刀、快箭。（二五。）箴言二十五章九至十节嘱咐我们，说，『你只可与邻舍本人争讼，不可泄漏别人的秘密；恐怕听见的人骂你，你的恶名就难以脱掉。』照著二十二章二十八节和二十三章十至十一节，我们先祖所立的地界，我们不该挪移，也不该侵入孤儿的田地。因他们的救赎主大有能力；祂必向我们为他们的案件伸冤。
18Proverbs 25:17 says, "Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor'sho use, otherwise he will become weary of you and hate you." A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps (29:5). Like a madman who shoots fire brands, arrows, and death, so is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says, "Was I not joking?" (26:18-19). A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a club and as word and a sharp arrow (25:18). Proverbs 25:9-10 charges us, 18 saying, "Argue your case with your neighbor himself,/ And do not reveal the secret of another;/Lest he who hears it revile you,/And the evil report of you does not go away." According to 22:28 and 23:10-11, we should not remove the ancient boundary marker, which our fathers have set up, or go into the fields of the fatherless; for their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their cause against us.
