Proverbs 25:17 says, "Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house, Lest he become weary of you and hate you."
LB "Don't visit your neighbors too often, or you will wear out your welcome."
Ever had a neighbor or someone that would "always" come over to your house, whether you wanted them there or not. Ever time you turned around, this person was at your house. That is what the verse means. We need to make sure we are not wearing out our welcome at our neighbor's house or friend's house, or we will be known as a nuisance.
Bottom line: pay attention to how much time we spend at people's houses, so we give people their privacy and we are not a nuisance. (Lots of wisdom in Proverbs!)
