2 Samuel 13:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

‘You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him.

Argue your case with your neighbor,

And do not reveal the secret of another,

“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

Then Laban and Bethuel replied, “The matter comes from the Lord; so we cannot speak to you bad or good.

God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and said to him, “

Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

‘You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him.

He who conceals hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads slander is a fool.

He who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he lays up deceit in his heart.

Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood,
But who can stand before jealousy?

Do not be

eager in your heart to be angry,

For anger resides in the bosom of fools.

Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
