A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
