Proverbs 17:27

He who restrains his words has knowledge,
And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

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

The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

He who guards his mouth and his tongue,
Guards his soul from troubles.
