v. 19. He loveth transgression that loveth strife, for a quarrelsome disposition is usually combined with wickedness of heart; and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction, putting on the airs of the wealthy by building a lofty gateway to his house, thereby inviting jealousy and enmity and leading to his own ruin. Pride is the most common cause of ruinous quarrels.
