In Proverbs, Job and Psalms "issues" and "issued" mean a source or a coming out: the issues of life flow from the heart, the sea issued from the womb, and God holds the issues of death (a way out of death). Interpretation: Tradition reads Proverbs as teaching that a person's life and actions flow from the heart, so it must be guarded. In the primary lessons: In news and citizenship lessons: issues like pollution. At school: books are issued; warnings are issued. In comics: "issue 12". In everyday talk: "What's the issue?" means "What's wrong?". Phrases: the main issue, take issue with (disagree), no issue, issue a warning, back issue. ### examples - And what saddle soever he that hath the issue rideth upon shall be unclean.
