Thematic Bible: Dissention
Thematic Bible
Dissention » The contentious spirit
He who loves transgression loves strife and is quarrelsome;
He who [proudly] raises his gate seeks destruction [because of his arrogant pride].
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger and patient calms disputes.
Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
I am for peace, but when I speak,
They are for war.
They devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually [gather together and] stir up wars.
A fool’s lips bring contention and strife,
And his mouth invites a beating.
Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
For destruction and violence are before me;
Strife continues and contention arises.
