Proverbs 17:27

Sparing of his words, is one who valueth knowledge, and, of a thoughtful spirit, is a man of intelligence.

Ye know, my brethren beloved, - but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.

One slow to anger, hath great understanding, but, the hasty in spirit, exalteth folly.

The heart of the righteous, studieth to answer, but, the mouth of the lawless, belcheth out mischiefs.

Better he that is slow to anger, than a hero, and he that ruleth his spirit, than he that captureth a city.

The words of the wise, in quietness, are heard, - beyond the outcry of one who ruleth over dullards.

For, oft, are we stumbling, one and all: If anyone, in word, doth not stumble, the same, is a mature man, able to curb even the whole body.

And, in harvest of righteousness, with peace, is sown by them that make peace.
