Avoiding a quarrel is honorable. After all, any stubborn fool can start a fight

It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel. (Proverbs 20:3 NKJV).

Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling. (NLT).

Avoiding a quarrel is honorable. After all, any stubborn fool can start a fight. (God’s Word Translation).

A person of honor will put an argument to rest. Only the stupid want to pick a fight. (The Passion Translation).
It’s a mark of good character to avert quarrels, but fools love to pick fights. (The Message Bible).

¹⁶These six things the Lord hates, indeed, seven are an abomination to Him: ¹⁷A proud look [the spirit that makes one overestimate himself and underestimate others], a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, ¹⁸A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, ¹⁹A false witness who breathes out lies [even under oath], and he who sows discord among his brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19 AMPC).

Proverbs 6:19 in the Passion Translation states: spouting lies in false testimony, and stirring up strife between friends. These are entirely despicable to God!

I repeat: It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.

Shalom.
