People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.
Short-tempered people do foolish things,
and schemers are hated.
A hot-tempered person starts fights;
a cool-tempered person stops them.
Better to be patient than powerful;
better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
A truly wise person uses few words;
a person with understanding is even-tempered.
Sensible people control their temper;
they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.
Patience can persuade a prince,
and soft speech can break bones.
Control your temper,
for anger labels you a fool.
Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.
