- He is therefore not on his guard and not prepared for trouble.
- A wicked man would have a temptation to plan evil against such a neighbor because he would be an easy target (Pro 24:15).
- Solomon is warning us to not take advantage of careless people.
- Let this also be a warning to us to not dwell securely (carelessly) because we will be easy targets for robbery, violence, or fraud (Jdg 18:7 c/w 27-28).
We should instead be wise and circumspect, paying attention to our surroundings (Eph 5:14-15).
