Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.

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

He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

[As] charcoal [is] to burning coals, and wood to fire, So [is] a contentious man to kindle strife.

For [as] the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood, So the forcing of wrath produces strife.

He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go,

For where envy and self-seeking [exist,] confusion and every evil thing [are] there.
