²² But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.

¹⁷ Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.

¹⁸ Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

²⁴ Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

¹⁵ Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him.

⁵⁰ Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.

¹¹ But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.

⁹ He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.

³¹ Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

²⁶ Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

¹⁵ And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.

⁹ Be not quick to let your spirit be angry; because wrath is in the heart of the foolish.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?

⁵ Better is open protest than love kept secret.

⁶ The wounds of a friend are given in good faith, but the kisses of a hater are false.

²⁴ With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him;

⁹ Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:

¹⁸ Hate is covered up by the lips of the upright man, but he who lets out evil about another is foolish.

²⁹ It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
