For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”
To start a quarrel is to release a flood; so abandon the dispute before it breaks out.
An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
A greedy man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
A perverse man spreads dissension, and a gossip divides close friends.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.
