Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

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

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

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

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.

Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
