An evil man seeketh only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.

The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.

An honour to a man is cessation from strife, And every fool intermeddleth.

And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'

and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife,

and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,
