Proverbs 30:33

The Scriptures 1998

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

See the chapter Copy

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

He who is greedy stirs up strife, But he who trusts in יהוה prospers.

The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop fighting before it breaks out.

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

A perverse man sends forth strife, And a whisperer separates intimate friends.

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

And he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.

Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.
