12For a fire it is, to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,


In Context

9 If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening of my neighbour I laid wait,

10 Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others bend.

11 For it is a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity;

12 For a fire it is, to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,

13 If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,

14 Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?
