Nuggets of Wisdom

18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death 19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"

18 A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a war club, or a sword, or a sharp arrow.

17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you.

Troublemakers start fights; gossips break up friendships.

9 Argue your case with your neighbor himself, and do not reveal another's secret, 10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you, and your ill repute have no end.

28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause— would you use your lips to mislead?

1 Don't be jealous of crooks or want to be their friends. 2 All they think about and talk about is violence and cruelty.

28 Don't cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers set up by previous generations.
