The first to state his case ¹  seems ²  right, until his opponent ³  begins to ⁴  cross-examine him. ⁵ 

As they grappled with one another, each one stabbed his opponent with his sword and they fell dead together. ¹  So that place is called the Field of Flints; ²  it is in Gibeon.

‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s boundary marker.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who kills ¹  his neighbor in private.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

With his speech ¹  the godless person ²  destroys ³  his neighbor, but by knowledge ⁴  the righteous will be delivered.

The appetite ¹  of the wicked desires ²  evil; his neighbor is shown no favor ³  in his eyes.

The one who loves a pure heart ¹  and whose speech is gracious ²  – the king will be his friend. ³

As ¹  iron sharpens ²  iron, so a person ³  sharpens his friend. ⁴ 

The one ¹  who flatters ²  his neighbor spreads a net ³  for his steps. ⁴

People lie to one another; ¹  they flatter and deceive. ² 

I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret. I will not tolerate anyone who has a cocky demeanor and an arrogant attitude. ¹ 

So it is with ¹  the one who has sex with ²  his neighbor’s wife; no one ³  who touches ⁴  her will escape ⁵  punishment. ⁶ 

The one who lacks wisdom ¹  strikes hands in pledge, ²  and puts up financial security ³  for his neighbor. ⁴
