An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin.
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Ya`akov, and scatter them in Yisra'el.
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, and a crafty man is hated.
A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
Don't befriend a hot-tempered man, and don't associate with one who harbors anger:
As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend's countenance.
He who pampers his servant from youth will have him become a son in the end.
For as the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood; so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.*
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
