14Whoever releases the water is the head of the conflict. And just before he suffers contempt, he abandons judgment.
1A dry morsel with gladness is better than a house full of sacrifices along with conflict. 2A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and he will divide the inheritance among brothers. 3Just as silver is tested by fire, and gold is tested in the furnace, so also does the Lord test hearts. 4The evil obey an unjust tongue. And the false are submissive to lying lips. 5Whoever despises the poor rebukes his Maker. And whoever rejoices in the ruin of another will not go unpunished. 6Sons of sons are the crown of old age. And the glory of sons is their fathers.
1It is for man to prepare the soul, and for the Lord to govern the tongue. 2All the ways of a man are open to his eyes; the Lord is the one who weighs spirits. 3Open your works to the Lord, and your intentions will be set in order. 4The Lord has wrought all things because of himself. Likewise the impious is for the evil day. 5All the arrogant are an abomination to the Lord. Even if hand will be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice. And this is more acceptable with God than to immolate sacrifices. 6By mercy and truth, iniquity is redeemed. And by the fear of the Lord, one turns away from evil.
25And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your sins.

My hour has not yet arrived.” 5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6Now in that place, there were six stone water jars, for the purification ritual of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
11The doctrine of a man is known through patience. And his glory is to pass beyond iniquities.
31Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice.
1A dry morsel with gladness is better than a house full of sacrifices along with conflict.
13Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.
19Whoever dwells on discord loves disputes. And whoever exalts his door seeks ruin.
