²² An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

¹⁹ He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.

²¹ `As' coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.

¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.

¹⁷ He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a man of wicked devices is hated.

²⁴ Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:

¹⁶ For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

³³ For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
