It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.ĭrive out a scoffer, and strife will go out, and quarreling and abuse will cease. Whoever loves transgression loves strife he who makes his door high seeks destruction.Ī fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating. The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out.

Destruction and violence are before me strife and contention arise. I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.īut if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. How can I bear by myself the weight and burden of you and your strife?

For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?
