But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

A fool’s anger is known at once,
But a prudent man conceals dishonor.

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But the slow to anger calms a dispute.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.

Or go with a hot-tempered man,

An angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

Feet that run rapidly to evil,

But He will condemn a man who devises evil.

As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the afflicted with slander,

Even though the needy one speaks what is right.

‘For wicked men are found among My people,
They watch like fowlers lying in wait;
They set a trap,
They catch men.
