²² An angry man stirs up strife, And a wrathful man abounds in sin.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirs up contention, But one who is slow to anger appeases strife.

¹⁹ He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.

²¹ As coals are to hot embers, And wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindling strife.

¹² Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all wrongs.

¹⁷ He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, And a crafty man is hated.

²⁴ Don't befriend a hot-tempered man, And don't associate with one who harbors anger:

¹⁶ For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

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