Proverbs 3:29 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Devise not evil, &c. Any thing injurious or hurtful; against thy neighbour Against any child of man. Having commanded the doing of good, (Proverbs 3:27-28,) he here forbids the doing or designing any evil. Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee Relying upon thy integrity: do not, therefore, deceive his trust, and cause him to repent of the confidence which he places in thee, which would be an iniquity hateful even to heathen.

Proverbs 3:29

29 Devisee not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
