Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm.
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.
A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.
The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out.
Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
You have indeed struck down Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your glory, and stay at home, for why should you provoke trouble so that you fall, you and Judah with you?”
