TWOT Reference: 426c
strife, contention
strife, contention
object of contention
Strong's Number H4066 matches the Hebrew מָדוֹן (māḏôn),
which occurs 17 times in 17 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
You make us an object of contention to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh [at our suffering] among themselves.
Who perversely in his heart plots trouble and evil continually;
Who spreads discord and strife.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger and patient calms disputes.
The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes];
Therefore [fn]abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode.
A brother offended is harder to win over than a fortified city,
And contentions [separating families] are like the bars of a castle.
It is better to dwell in a desert land
Than with a contentious and troublesome woman.
Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away;
Even strife and dishonor will cease.
Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaining?
Who has wounds without cause?
Whose eyes are red and dim?
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop [on the flat roof, exposed to the weather]
Than in a house shared with a quarrelsome (contentious) woman.
For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no whisperer [who gossips], contention quiets down.
Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
A constant dripping on a day of steady rain
And a contentious (quarrelsome) woman are alike;
An arrogant and greedy man stirs up strife,
But he who trusts in the LORD will be blessed and prosper.
An angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered and undisciplined man commits many transgressions.
Woe to me, my mother, that you have given birth to me
To be a man of strife and a man of contention to all the earth!
I have not loaned, nor have men lent money to me,
Yet everyone curses me.
