Proverbs 22:24

English Standard Version 2016

Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,

See the chapter Copy

A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.

“Scoffer” is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
