stirring up anger produces strife

 Proverbs 30:24-33

Four things on earth are smallyet they are extremely wiseAnts are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summerhyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the cragslocusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranksa lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces.

There are three things that are stately in their stridefour that move with stately bearing: a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing; a strutting rooster, a he-goatand a king secure against revolt.

If you play the fool and exalt yourselfor if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth!
33 For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”

Why?

Four things are small but they can do great things in the world. ants, hyraxes, locusts, and lizards.

People should fear them, lions, strutting roosters, goats, and a king. for they are stately in their stride.

Be humble and don't say too much for our fool will be revealed.

Do not stir up anger it produces strife.

How?

Remember to do the right things with love and fear of the Lord.
