By talking, a fool gets into an argument,
and his mouth invites a beating.
A fool’s mouth is his ruin.
His lips are a trap to his soul.
Flipping a coin ends quarrels
and settles issues between powerful people.
An offended brother is more resistant than a strong city,
and disputes are like the locked gate of a castle tower.
(Proverbs 18:6-7,18-19 GW)

Many try to win the kindness of a generous person,
and everyone is a friend to a person who gives gifts.
The entire family of a poor person hates him.
How much more do his friends keep their distance from him!
When he chases them with words, they are gone.
A person who gains sense loves himself.
One who guards understanding finds something good.
A person who has a hot temper will pay for it.
If you rescue him, you will have to do it over and over.
(Proverbs 19:6-8,19 GW)

Do not be in a hurry to go to court.
What will you do in the end if your neighbor disgraces you?
Present your argument to your neighbor,
but do not reveal another person’s secret.
Otherwise, when he hears about it, he will humiliate you,
and his evil report about you will never disappear.
Do not set foot in your neighbor’s house too often.
Otherwise, he will see too much of you and hate you.
(Proverbs 25:8-10,17 GW)

(Proverbs 25:8-10,17 GW)
Like grabbing a dog by the ears,
so is a bystander who gets involved in someone else’s quarrel.
Like a madman who shoots flaming arrows, arrows, and death,
so is the person who tricks his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
Without wood a fire goes out,
and without gossip a quarrel dies down.
so a quarrelsome person fuels a dispute.
and they go down into a person’s innermost being.
Like a clay pot covered with cheap silver,
so is smooth talk that covers up an evil heart.
Whoever is filled with hate disguises it with his speech,
but inside he holds on to deceit.
because of the seven disgusting things in his heart.
but his wickedness will be revealed to the community.
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it.
Whoever rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
(Proverbs 26:17-28 GW)

When a wise person goes to court with a stubborn fool,
he may rant and rave,
but there is no peace and quiet.
Bloodthirsty people hate an innocent person,
but decent people seek to protect his life.
An angry person stirs up a fight,
and a hothead does much wrong.
(Proverbs 29:9-10,22 GW)
