Proverbs 13:10 Only by pride comes contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. When pride and passion meet on both sides, it cannot but be that a fire will be kindled; when hard flints strike together, the sparks will fly about; but a soft, mild spirit is a great preserver of its own peace, kills the power of contests, as woolpacks, or such-like soft matter, most deaden the force of bullets. (T. Leighton.) Parallel Verses KJV: Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.WEB: Pride only breeds quarrels, but with ones who take advice is wisdom. |
