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 kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing,
A man of wrath stirs up strife, and a man given to anger causes much transgression.
A fool's lips bring strife, and his mouth invites a flogging.
The beginning of strife is like letting out water; so quit before the quarrel breaks out.
He who meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
You have indeed smitten 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?”
