A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and contentions are like the bars of a castle.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 18:19 Go To Proverbs 18
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Do you see the great strength which comes from concord? And do you see the great harm caused by contentiousness? A kingdom in revolt destroys itself. When two brothers are bound together and united into one, they are more unbreakable than any wall. .
