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

Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

A scoundrel plots evil, and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.

It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.

If a wise person goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.

Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.

A fool’s mouth lashes out with pride, but the lips of the wise protect them.

Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.

Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.

Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered,or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared.

A hot- tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them, and you will have to do it again.

Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
