15:17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love
than a fattened calf with hatred.
17:1 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet
than a house full of feasting, with strife.
6:16, 19
16 There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him…
19 …a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
14:17 A quick-tempered person does foolish things,
and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.
14:29 Whoever is patient has great understanding,
but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
14:16 The wise fear the Lord and shun evil,
but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.
27:4 Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,
but who can stand before jealousy?
29:8 Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.
29:22 An angry person stirs up conflict,
and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.
19:3 A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,
yet their heart rages against the Lord.
19:19 A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty;
rescue them, and you will have to do it again.
21:9 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
21:19 Better to live in a desert
than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.
22:24-25
24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,
do not associate with one easily angered,
25 or you may learn their ways
and get yourself ensnared.
19:11 A person’s wisdom yields patience;
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
12:16 Fools show their annoyance at once,
but the prudent overlook an insult.
10:12 Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs.
15:18 A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict,
but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.
17:14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.
17:19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
20:3 It is to one’s honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel.
22:10 Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;
quarrels and insults are ended.
26:17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
26:21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
16:32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
17:27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint,
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
29:11 Fools give full vent to their rage,
but the wise bring calm in the end.
