jma, Judging from the variations in the following translations this must be an ambiguous Hebrew passage. But however you slice it you want your brother on your side in a battle, not against you. So stay on good terms with your brother. NASB Proverbs 18:19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a citadel. RSV: A brother helped is like a strong city, but quarreling is like the bars of a castle. NAB: A brother is a better defense than a strong city, and a friend is like the bars of a castle. Emmaus |

JMa, I believe that this passage,like all passages, is not ambiguous, but very clear. This is a warning of the results of being offensive towards a "brother". Offending someone creates a gulf which is very difficult to cross. Creating an offensive atmosphere with our brothers and sisters makes it that much more difficult to reach them in their time of need. Peter tells us not to exchange .."railing for railing..", (1 Peter 3:9). This makes communication, help, reaching, very difficult...God Bless..believer57 | ||||||
