Proverbs 3:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. Strive not with a man - Do not be of a litigious, quarrelsome spirit. Be not under the influence of too nice a sense of honor. If thou must appeal to judicial authority to bring him that wrongs thee to reason, avoid all enmity, and do nothing in a spirit of revenge. But, if he have done thee no harm, why contend with him? May not others in the same way contend with and injure thee!
