Proverbs17:14
14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water ; therefore leave off contention before it be meddled with .
By cutting the Bank of a River, in which case the Water quickly widens the breach and breaks in with irresistible violence and fury, and causeth great mischief and destruction.
Avoid the occasions, and prevent the beginnings of contention.
