And there was a very H3966 sore H7186 battle H4421 that day; H3117 and Abner H74 was beaten, H5062 and the men H582 of Israel, H3478 before H6440 the servants H5650 of David. H1732

Then Abner H74 called H7121 to Joab, H3097 and said, H559 Shall the sword H2719 devour H398 for ever? H5331 know H3045 you not that it will be bitterness H4751 in the latter H314 end? how H5704 long H5704 shall it be then, ere H3808 you bid H559 the people H5971 return H7725 from following H310 their brothers? H251

And Joab H3097 said, H559 As God H430 lives, H2416 unless H3588 H3884 you had spoken, H1696 surely H3588 then in the morning H1242 the people H5971 had gone H5927 up every H376 one H376 from following H310 his brother. H251

It is as sport H7814 to a fool H3684 to do H6213 mischief: H2154 but a man H376 of understanding H8394 has wisdom. H2451

The beginning H7225 of strife H4066 is as when one lets H6362 out water: H4325 therefore leave H5203 off contention, H7379 before H6440 it be meddled H1566 with.

Every purpose H4284 is established H3559 by counsel: H6098 and with good advice H8458 make H6213 war. H4421

Go H3318 not forth H3318 hastily H4118 to strive, H7378 lest H6435 you know not what H4100 to do H6213 in the end H319 thereof, when your neighbor H7453 has put you to shame. H3637

As a mad H3856 man who casts H3384 firebrands, H2131 arrows, H2671 and death, H4194

So H3651 is the man H376 that deceives H7411 his neighbor, H7453 and said, H559 Am not I in sport? H7832
