“My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.”
Psalm 120:6–7
The reason the wicked are for war when the godly man speaks is that when the godly man speaks, he speaks the truth. The wicked often claim to be for peace, but what they really want is exposed when the truth is spoken.
The truth reveals the truth about everybody who hears it.
