'Stop' in the Bible

The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes];Therefore abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode.

Whoever attempts to restrain her [criticism] might as well try to stop the wind,And grasps oil with his right hand.

A man who is burdened with the guilt of human blood (murder)Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him or give him refuge.
