A fool's wrath is known at once, but a prudent man covereth shame.

Only by pride cometh contention, but with the welladvised is wisdom.

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

A froward man diggeth up evil, and on his lips there is a burning fire.

A froward man soweth strife, and a whisperer separateth closest friends.

The beginning of strife is like the letting out of water: therefore break off contention before it is meddled with.

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

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

The mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise shall preserve him.

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

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 for thy soul.

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

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