An angry man stirreth up strife,\par\tab And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife;\par\tab But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.
The beginning of strife is {\i as} when one letteth out water:\par\tab Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.
{\i As} coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire,\par\tab So is a contentious man to inflame strife.
A perverse man scattereth abroad strife;\par\tab And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
A wrathful man stirreth up contention;\par\tab 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;\par\tab But love covereth all transgressions.
