13:10
By insolence comes nothing but strife,
but with those who take advice is wisdom.
15:17-18
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is
than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.
16:28

than a house full of feasting with strife.
17:14

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.
18:1
Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;
he breaks out against all sound judgment.
18:18-19
The lot puts an end to quarrels
and decides between powerful contenders.
A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city,
and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
18:24
A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
19:11

and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

but every fool will be quarreling.

than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

and quarreling and abuse will cease.
25:17
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house,
lest he have his fill of you and hate you.
25:24
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
26:17
Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.

For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.

Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.
Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend,
and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is near
than a brother who is far away.
27:15-16
A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
to restrain her is to restrain the wind
or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.
27:17
Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another.
28:25
A greedy man stirs up strife,
but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched.
29:9
If a wise man has an argument with a fool,
the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
29:22
A man of wrath stirs up strife,
and one given to anger causes much transgression.
