So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we [are] brethren.

"[Is] not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If [you take] the left, then I will go to the right; or, if [you go] to the right, then I will go to the left."

[He who is] slow to wrath has great understanding, But [he who is] impulsive exalts folly.

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

A wrathful man stirs up strife, But [he who is] slow to anger allays contention.

Husbands, likewise, dwell with [them] with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as [being] heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods [were in] his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them.

Like a bird that wanders from its nest [Is] a man who wanders from his place.

If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post; For conciliation pacifies great offenses.
