Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
The verse forbids devising or planning harm or evil against one's neighbour. The neighbour in view is one who lives beside or nearby. He dwells there in trust and security, confident and unsuspecting beside the one warned. The command belongs to instruction that urges heeding correction and choosing wisdom as the path of life.
