Proverbs 29:20

Do you see a man who speaks too soon?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

A patient person shows great understanding,
but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.

The plans of the diligent certainly lead to profit,
but anyone who is reckless certainly becomes poor.

A fool gives full vent to his anger,
but a wise man holds it in check.

Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
