Prov 17:14
The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes];
Therefore
1
abandon the quarrel before it breaks out
and
tempers explode.

Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

The ancient rabbis derived from this statement the principle of seeking a settlement before a case comes to court (cf Matt 5:25; Luke 12:58).
