Proverbs 25:17
The Ingleside family are tired of Aunt Mary Maria, who outstays her visit. Susan Baker vehemently dislikes her.
Half an hour later, Susan, reading her nightly chapter in her Bible, came across the verse, “Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house lest he weary of thee and hate thee.” She put a sprig of southernwood in it to mark the spot. “Even in those days,” she reflected.
Proverbs 25:17
King James Bible
Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
