Proverbs 17:27

One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper is a man of understanding.

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips is wise.

Whoso is slow to anger is of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.

The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.

Better is the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.

The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools.

for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
