¹² Hatred stirs up strife,
But ^(A)love covers all sins.

¹⁰ By pride comes nothing but ^(A)strife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.

^18 (A)A wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is like releasing water;
Therefore ^(A)stop contention before a quarrel starts.

¹⁹ He who loves transgression loves strife,
And ^(A)he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city,
And contentions are like the bars of a castle.

^3 (A)It is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel.

¹⁹ Better to dwell ^[a]in the wilderness,
Than with a contentious and angry woman.
