A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
