¹⁸ A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

¹⁹ Whoso is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoso is making high his entrance is seeking destruction.

²¹ Coal to burning coals, and wood to fire, And a man of contentions to kindle strife.

¹² Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.

¹⁷ Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.

²⁴ Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,

¹⁶ for where zeal and rivalry `are', there is insurrection and every evil matter;

³³ For the churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife!
