¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes:
    but love covereth all sins.

¹⁰ Only by pride cometh contention:
    but with the well advised is wisdom.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up strife:
    but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

²⁸ A froward man soweth strife:
    and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:
    therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

¹⁹ He loveth transgression that loveth strife:
    and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city:
    and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

³ It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:
    but every fool will be meddling.

¹⁹ It is better to dwell in the wilderness,
    than with a contentious and an angry woman.
