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 bring strife, And his mouth invites beatings.

A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.

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 sand is weighty, But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.

An ungodly man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire.A perverse man sows strife, And a whisperer separates the best of friends.

It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since any fool can start a quarrel.

If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.

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

A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.

In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise will preserve them.

By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom.

The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.

A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.

Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go,Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for your soul.

A man of great wrath will suffer punishment; For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.

Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And beatings for the backs of fools.
