Do not remove your neighbor's landmark (Deuteronomy 19.14).

  • “To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, *to subvert a man in his cause*, the LORD approves not.” (Lamentations 3.34-36).

Why are we having a cause against our neighbor? As Paul and Jesus said:

  • “Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because all of you go to law one with another. Why do all of you not rather endure wrong? why do all of you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?” (1Corinthians 6.7).

  • “And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.” (Matthew 5.40).

After all:

  • “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not behind, even of your lusts that war in your members? All of you lust, and have not: all of you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: all of you fight and war, *yet all of you have not, because all of you ask not. All of you ask, and receive not, because all of you ask amiss*, that all of you may consume it upon your lusts.” (James 4.1-3).

Instead of making use of net of evil men (Proverbs 12.12), seek out in constant and tenacious prayer what Jesus already put inside you since the day you were created (Ezekiel 28.13). At the right moment, you will enter in the rest of the Creator (Hebrews 4.11) and your root will fructify what you and people around you need (as came about Adam when the moment to the creation of the woman arrived – Genesis 2.21,22):

  • “And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless *when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth*?” (Luke 18.1-8).

So, instead of trying to keep our neighbor away from what he consider being his right (regardless if he is right or not), keep your faith in Jesus up in high level and you will receive a boon sufficient for you, for him and for everyone that needs of it (meditate on Luke 6.38).
