An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; And their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.
Hatred stirreth up strifes: But love covereth all transgressions.
He that is soon angry will deal foolishly: And a man of wicked devices is hated.
A wrathful man stirreth up contention: But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:
As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire; So is a contentious man to inflame strife.
Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last.
For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.
