Proverbs 10:12

10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble,
But a prating fool will fall.

11 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirs up strife,
But ^alove covers all sins.

13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding,
But ^aa rod is for the back of him who¹ is devoid of understanding.

14 Wise people store up knowledge,
But ^athe mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

Proverbs 10:12

Hatred stirreth up strifes - It seeks for occasions to provoke enmity. It delights in broils. On the contrary, love conciliates; removes aggravations; puts the best construction on every thing; and pours water, not oil, upon the flame.
