TWOT Reference: 426c
strife, contention
strife, contention
object of contention
Strong's Number H4066 matches the Hebrew מָדוֹן (māḏôn),
which occurs 11 times in 11 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.
Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away;
Even strife and dishonor will cease.
For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no whisperer [who gossips], contention quiets down.
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.
