Proverbs 30:33

American Standard Version (1901)

For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

See the chapter Copy

An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.

He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.

As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.

A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.

The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
