Proverbs 6:16 - 6:19


16
There are six things which Yahweh hates,
Even seven which are an abomination to Him:
17
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
18
A heart that devises wicked thoughts,
Feet that hasten to run to evil,
19
A false witness who breathes out lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.

Proverbs 17:9

9
He who covers a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter separates close companions.

Proverbs 17:14

14
The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
So abandon the dispute before it breaks out.

Proverbs 17:19

19
He who loves transgression loves quarreling;
He who makes his doorway high seeks destruction.

Proverbs 18:1

He who separates himself seeks his own desire,
He breaks out in dispute against all sound wisdom.

Proverbs 18:19

19
A brother offended is harder to win over than a strong city,
And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.

Proverbs 29:11

11
A fool lets out all of his spirit,
But a wise man holds it back.

Proverbs 29:22

22
An angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot‑tempered man abounds in transgression.

Proverbs 30:32 - 30:33


32
If you have been wickedly foolish in lifting yourself up,
Or if you have schemed evil, put your hand on your mouth.
33
For pressing milk brings forth butter,
And pressing the nose brings forth blood;
And pressing anger brings forth strife.
