Exhortation to Various Virtues.
WARNING AGAINST EVIL. — V. 27. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, to whom it belongs by reason of his need, whether he really deserves it or is so destitute that he can no longer help himself, when it is In the power of thine hand to do it. V. 28. Say not unto thy neighbor, Go and come again, and tomorrow I will give, thus putting him off and discouraging him, when thou hast it by thee. Compare James 2, 15. 16.
V. 29. Devise not evil against thy neighbor, by meditating upon wickedness and contriving it, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee, without suspicion.
