The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.

What foolish people say leads to arguing. They are just asking for a beating.

A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.

Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating.

A fool’s lips lead to strife, and his mouth provokes a beating.

A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

The lips of a fool enter into strife, and his mouth invites a flogging.

A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.

A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; But a fool’s vexation is heavier than they both.

A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; But every fool will be quarrelling.

If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.

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

A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

By pride cometh only contention; But with the well- advised is wisdom.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.

Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul.

A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty; For if thou deliver him, thou must do it yet again.

Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And stripes for the back of fools.
