Contentiousness » The contentious spirit
A lover of transgression, is one who loveth strife, he that heighteneth his door, seeketh grievous harm.
A wrathful man, stirreth up strife, but, he that is slow to anger, calmeth contention.
Black coal to burning blocks, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man, for kindling strife.
I, am for peace, and verily I speak, They, are for war!
Who have devised mischiefs in their heart , Every day, do they stir up wars:
the lips of a dullard, enter into contention, and his mouth, for blows, crieth out.
Wherefore shouldst thou let me see iniquity, and, wrong, shouldst let me behold, and, force and violence, be straight before me, - and there should have ever been someone who, contention and strife, would uphold?
