When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise.

The one who forgives an offense seeks love, but whoever repeats a matter separates close friends.

The one who loves a quarrel loves transgression; whoever builds his gate high seeks destruction.

A person’s wisdom makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but the righteous will see their downfall.

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

The one who robs his father and mother and says, “There is no transgression,” is a companion to the one who destroys.
