Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.

A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled [is] wisdom.

A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Proud, haughty, scorner [is] his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.

Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.

An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.

Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment;

A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.

And Jehovah doth lead thee continually, And hath satisfied in drought thy soul, And thy bones He armeth, And thou hast been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters lie not.
