Thematic Bible: Avoiding strife


Thematic Bible



To release the waters (to speak rashly) is the beginning of contention; therefore, leave off strife before it gets started.


Do not go forth hastily to strive lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof when thy neighbour has put thee to shame. Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself and do not uncover the secret to another lest he that hears it put thee to shame and thine infamy not turn away.



Do not sue a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm.
