Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath brings forth 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 stirs up strife: but love covers all sins.
A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he that is slow to anger quiets strife.
A perverse man sows strife: and a whisperer separates best friends.
The beginning of strife is like releasing water: therefore leave off contention, before a quarrel starts.
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be prospered.
An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
