ANNOYANCE. Conflict {Hebrew madon} in Proverbs does not refer to principled disagreements or respectful arguments. It is something God hates {6: 19} and at the heart of conflict is annoyance, a word that means contempt and disdain between people. Everything said in conflict is to belittle rather than convince.
