14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter while you peacefully can.
You don’t lose your temper.
You loose your temper.
Exercise restraint instead.
13 Evil will never leave the house
of one who pays back evil for good.
Proverbs Club Commentary
It is one thing to reluctantly pay back a favor.
It is another thing to do it maliciously,
Even if only as sinful as spitting in the food.
