Proverbs 18:19
_ _ No feuds so difficult of adjustment as those of relatives; hence great care should be used to avoid them. |
Proverbs 18:19
_ _ Note, 1. Great care must be taken to prevent quarrels among relations, and those that are under special obligation to each other, not only because they are most unnatural and unbecoming, but because between such things are commonly taken most unkindly, and resentments are apt to be carried too far. Wisdom and grace would indeed make it most easy to us to forgive our relations and friends if they offend us, but corruption makes it most difficult to forgive them; let us therefore take heed of disobliging a brother, or one that has been as a brother; ingratitude is very provoking. 2. Great pains must be taken to compromise matters in variance between relations, with all speed, because it is a work of so much difficulty, and consequently the more honourable if it be done. Esau was a brother offended, and seemed harder to be won than a strong city, yet by a work of God upon his heart, in answer to Jacob's prayer, he was won. |
Proverbs 18:19
A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the (n) bars of a castle.
(n) Which for the strength of it will not bow or yield. |
