and give your neighbor no rest!

ensnared by the words of your mouth.

and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.

33) Blows and disgrace are his lot,
and his shame will never be wiped away.
Proverbs Club Commentary
A thief only suffers for his deeds.
Even when not caught, he still fears he may be.
He loses family and friends and becomes an outcast.
He cannot escape his shame.
Only Jesus can renew him.
