30 Do not contend with a man for no reason,
when he has done you no harm.
16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.
12 Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man of understanding remains silent.
21 Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
18 A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.
9 Whoever covers an offense seeks love,
but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.
13 If anyone returns evil for good,
evil will not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
so quit before the quarrel breaks out.
28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
6 A fool’s lips walk into a fight,
and his mouth invites a beating.
17 The one who states his case first seems right,
until the other comes and examines him.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and he who breathes out lies will perish.
11 Good sense makes one slow to anger,
and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife,
but every fool will be quarreling.
22 Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you.
8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,
and the rod of his fury will fail.
11 He who loves purity of heart,
and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend.
9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
for he will despise the good sense of your words.
19 Fret not yourself because of evildoers,
and be not envious of the wicked,
20 for the evil man has no future;
the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
23 These also are sayings of the wise.
Partiality in judging is not good.
24 Whoever says to the wicked, “You are in the right,”
will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,
25 but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,
and a good blessing will come upon them.
26 Whoever gives an honest answer
kisses the lips.
28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause,
and do not deceive with your lips.
29 Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me;
I will pay the man back for what he has done.”
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly,
lest you be like him yourself.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own eyes.
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,
will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
9 If a wise man has an argument with a fool,
the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back.
