A quick-tempered man acts foolishly and without self-control,
And a man of wicked schemes is hated.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger and patient calms disputes.
He who is slow to anger is better and more honorable than the mighty [soldier],
And he who rules and controls his own spirit, than he who captures a city.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger dwells in the heart of fools.

It is not for kings to drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire strong drink,
But even these reel with wine and stagger from strong drink:
The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink;
They are confused by wine, they stagger from strong drink;
They reel while seeing visions,
They stagger when pronouncing judgment.
“Come,” [they say,] “let us get wine, and let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
And tomorrow will be like today, very great indeed.”
