‏ Proverbs 17:9

     9. seeketh love—(Compare Margin). The contrast is between the peace-maker and tale-bearer.

‏ Proverbs 17:19

     19. strife—contention is, and leads to, sin.

      he that exalteth his gate—gratifies a vain love of costly building.

      seeketh—or, "findeth," as if he sought (compare "loveth death," Pr 8:36).
