TSK · Proverbs 15:18

Abram said to Lot,“Let there be no quarreling between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are close relatives.

Falling at his feet, she said,“My lord, I accept all the guilt! But please let your female servant speak to you! Please listen to the words of your servant!

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions.

A gentle response turns away anger, but a harsh word stirs up wrath.

Do not make friends with an angry person, and do not associate with a wrathful person,

Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.

An angry person stirs up dissension, and a wrathful person is abounding in transgression.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.

Living Out the Message Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
