And the men^H376 of Ephraim^H669 were gathered together,^H6817 and passed^H5674 northward;^H6828 and they said^H559 unto Jephthah,^H3316 Wherefore passedst thou over^H5674 to fight^H3898 against the children^H1121 of Ammon,^H5983 and didst not call^H7121 us to go^H3212 with thee? we will burn^H8313 thy house^H1004 upon thee with fire.^H784

And the battle^H4421 was very^H3966 sore^H7186 that day:^H3117 and Abner^H74 was beaten,^H5062 and the men^H582 of Israel,^H3478 before^H6440 the servants^H5650 of David.^H1732

He loveth^H157 transgression^H6588 that loveth^H157 strife:^H4683 He that raiseth high^H1361 his gate^H6607 seeketh^H1245 destruction.^H7667

It is an honor^H3519 for a man^H376 to keep aloof from strife;^H7379 But every fool^H191 will be quarrelling.^H1566

[ As] coals^H6352 are to hot embers,^H1513 and wood^H6086 to fire,^H784 So is a contentious^H4079 man^H376 to inflame^H2787 strife.^H7379

Better^H2896 is the end^H319 of a thing^H1697 than the beginning^H7225 thereof; [and] the patient^H750 in spirit^H7307 is better^H2896 than the proud^H1362 in spirit.^H7307
