Proverbs 29:20

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

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

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

Being slow to get angry compares to great understanding as being quick-tempered compares to stupidity.

Plans of the persistent surely lead to productivity, but all who are hasty will surely become poor.

The fool vents all his feelings, but the wise person keeps them to himself.

Don't be impulsive with your mouth nor be in a hurry to talk in God's presence. Since God is in heaven and you're on earth, keep your speech short.
