James 3:16 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For where envying and strife is; the usual companions of this devilish wisdom. There is confusion; or, inconsistency, viz. both with man's self and others; envy makes him unqniet in himself, and troublesome to others, by causing contentions and seditions among them, and breaking their peace, as well as his own. And every evil work; all manner of wickedness is ushered in by this confusion and sedition.

James 3:16

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusiong and every evil work.
