Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 10:8-10

"The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall. He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known. He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall." — Proverbs 10:8-10 (ASV)

To be hasty in beginning strife will bring difficulties. War must eventually end, and is better prevented. The same is true in private quarrels; do all you can to settle the matter.
