An angrymanstirsup strife,And a hot-temperedmanaboundsin transgression.
"Cursedbe their anger,for it is fierce;And their wrath,for it is cruel.I will dispersethem in Jacob,And scatterthem in Israel.
Hatredstirsup strife,But lovecoversalltransgressions.
A quick-temperedman actsfoolishly,And a manof evildevicesis hated.
A hot-temperedmanstirsup strife,But the slowto angercalmsa dispute.
He who lovestransgressionlovesstrife;He who raiseshis doorseeksdestruction.
Do not associatewith a man[given] to anger;Or gowith a hot-temperedman,
[Like] charcoalto hotembersand woodto fire,So is a contentiousmanto kindlestrife.
Ironsharpensiron,So one mansharpensanother.
He who pampershis slavefrom childhoodWill in the endfind him to be a son.
For the churningof milkproducesbutter,And pressingthe nosebringsforthblood;So the churningof angerproducesstrife.
For wherejealousyand selfish ambitionexist, thereis disorderand everyevilthing.
