Proverbs 29:20

All About Life

¹⁹ A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response.
²⁰ Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
²¹ He who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be a son.

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

Proverbs 21:5

The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage,
But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.

Proverbs 29:11

A fool always loses his temper,
But a wise man holds it back.

Ecclesiastes 5:2

Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
