Proverbs 26:21

The Scriptures 1998

As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.

See the chapter Copy

And there came to be a man of Beliyaʽ

And it came to be when all Yisra’ĕ

Sharp arrows of a mighty man, With coals of the broom-wood!

Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.

A man of wrath stirs up strife, But he who is patient appeases strife.

A man of displeasure stirs up strife, And a master of rage has many a transgression.

For as milk under pressure brings forth curds, And as a nose under pressure brings forth blood, So wrath under pressure brings forth strife.
