Quarreling

Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

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

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

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.

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.

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

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
