Proverbs 18:19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. No discords are like those of brethren; the nearer the union, the greater the separation upon a breach; for natural ties being stronger than artificial, when they are once broken, they are hardly made up again, as seams when they are ripped may be sown again; but rents in the whole cloth are not so easily remedied. (H. G. Salter.) Parallel Verses KJV: A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. |
