English term or phrase: cut your neighbour's throat
Now, have you been guilty of this? have you affirmed, that he cast out devils by the prince of devils? No more than you have cut your neighbour's throat, and set his house on fire. How marvellously then have you been afraid, where no fear is! Dismiss that vain terror; let your fear be more rational for the time to come.

Explanation:
Sugestão. Wmborar "cortar a garganta" pareça ser a opção óbvia, creio que "degolar", neste caso, tem mais impacto.
