PROVERBS 25:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.”
Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house—too much familiarity breeds contempt—a warning against excessive familiarity, establishing that distance preserves respect. The principle 'familiarity breeds contempt' suggests that constant presence erodes regard. The theological significance involves the principle that boundaries protect relationships.
