Strong's Number H7453 matches the Hebrew רֵעַ (rēaʿ),
which occurs 32 times in 30 verses in 'Pro'
in the WLC Hebrew.
Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go away! Come back later.
I’ll give it tomorrow” — when it is there with you.
Do this, then, my son, and free yourself,
for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power:
Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
So it is with the one who sleeps with
another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense,
but a person with understanding keeps silent.
A righteous person is careful in dealing with his neighbor,[fn]
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.
The one who despises his neighbor sins,
but whoever shows kindness to the poor will be happy.
One with many friends may be harmed,[fn]
but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
Don’t take a matter to court hastily.
Otherwise, what will you do afterward
if your opponent[fn] humiliates you?
Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house;
otherwise, he’ll get sick of you and hate you.
A person giving false testimony against his neighbor
is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
Oil and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.[fn]
Don’t abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
and don’t go to your brother’s house
in your time of calamity;
better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
If one blesses his neighbor
with a loud voice early in the morning,
it will be counted as a curse to him.
