A passionate man stirs up strife; but [he that is] slow to anger appeases even a rising one. [ 15:18A] A man slow to anger will extinguish quarrels, but an ungodly man rather stirs [them] up.

A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischief, and he separates friends.

Rightful rule gives power to words, but sedition and strife precede poverty.

A hearth for coals, and wood for fire, and a railing man for the tumult of strife.

An unbelieving man judges rashly, but he that trusts in the Lord will act carefully.

A furious man stirs up strife, and a passionate man digs up sin.
