פּ֣וֹטֵֽר מַ֭יִם רֵאשִׁ֣ית מָד֑וֹן וְלִפְנֵ֥י הִ֝תְגַּלַּ֗ע הָרִ֥יב נְטֽוֹשׁ׃
Ang simula ng alitan ay tulad ng nagbubukas ng daluyan ng tubig; kaya bago pa sumiklab ang away, iwan mo na ito.
Rashi
The beginning of strife is like letting out water Whoever commences a quarrel is like one who opens a hole in the stone walls of a water canal, and the water goes out through it, and the hole becomes progressively wider; so does the quarrel constantly escalate.
Rashi
and before you are exposed Before your shame is exposed, abandon the quarrel.
