Proverbs 10:12

Hatred stirs up strife,

But ^alove covers all transgressions.

Proverbs 15:17

^aBetter is a ¹dish of ²vegetables where there is love

Than a ^bfattened ox and hatred in it.

^aBetter is a dry morsel and tranquility with it

Than a house full of ¹feasting with strife.

He who ^acovers a transgression seeks love,

But he who repeats a matter ^bseparates close companions.

The beginning of strife is like letting out water,

So ^aabandon the dispute before it breaks out.

He who ^aloves transgression loves quarreling;

He who ^bmakes his doorway high seeks destruction.

A fool’s lips come with strife,

And his mouth calls for ^abeatings.

The first ¹to plead his case seems right,

Until ²another comes and examines him.

The cast ^alot puts an end to contentions

And ¹decides between the mighty ones.

A brother offended is harder to win over than a strong city,

And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.

It is a glory for a man to ^acease quarreling,

But any ignorant fool will break out in dispute.
