Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
An angry man stirreth up strife, And a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: But he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
A froward man soweth strife: And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: But he that is slow to anger appeaseth 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 stirreth up strifes: But love covereth all sins.
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
