'Worse' in the Bible

Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips;how much worse are lies for a ruler.

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.

A brother who is offended [is worse] than a city of strength, and quarrels [are] like the bars of a fortification.

Or the Lord will see your gloating and be displeased,And turn His anger away from your enemy.
