Proverbs 25:17

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house ,.... Not but that it is commendable to be neighbourly and friendly, or for one neighbour to visit another; but then it should not be very frequent; a man should not be always or often at his neighbour's house. So the words may be rendered, "make thy foot precious" or "rare at thy neighbour's house" F13 חקר "rarum fac", Montanus, Vatablus, Gejerus, Michaelis, Cocceius; Heb. "praetiosum fac", Piscator. ; be seldom there;

lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee ; or, "lest he be sated with thee" F14 פן ישבעך "ne forte satictur tui", Schultens; so Montanus; "saturatus", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; filled with thy company to a loathing of it, as the stomach with eating too much honey, and so his friendship be turned into hatred.
