Thematic Bible: The contentious spirit


Thematic Bible



He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.


As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.



A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.

Why dost thou show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up.


He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.


As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.



A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.

Why dost thou show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up.
