An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. Uncontrolled anger produces strife, while pride ultimately humiliates the individual. Fearing people excessively can become a trap, in contrast with trusting in the Lord. The passage ends with the tension between the righteous and the unjust: their ways produce mutual rejection because they pursue opposing principles. The teaching does not present moral neutrality as the solution, but requires recognition of the differences between the two paths.

Ein zorniger Mann richtet Hader an, und ein Grimmiger tut viel Sünde.
El hombre iracundo levanta contiendas; Y el furioso muchas veces peca.
Un homme colère excite des querelles, Et un furieux commet beaucoup de péchés.
L’uomo iracondo muove contese, E l’uomo collerico commette molti misfatti
O homem irascível levanta contendas; e o furioso multiplica as transgressões.
好生氣的人挑起爭端, 暴怒的人多多犯錯。
