Proverbs 30:33

Bible in Basic English 1965

The shaking of milk makes butter, and the twisting of the nose makes blood come: so the forcing of wrath is a cause of fighting.

See the chapter Copy

And he took butter and milk and the young ox which he had made ready and put it before them, waiting by them under the tree while they took food.

Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love.

An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.

A man of twisted purposes is a cause of fighting everywhere: and he who says evil secretly makes trouble between friends.

The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.

Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.

He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat.

An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong.

The words of Lemuel, king of Massa: the teaching which he had from his mother.
