'Slow to Anger' in the Bible

The Lord passed by before him and proclaimed: "The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness,

The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in loyal love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children until the third and fourth generations.'

The one who is slow to anger has great understanding, but the one who has a quick temper exalts folly.

A quick-tempered person stirs up dissension, but one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel.

Better to be slow to anger than to be a mighty warrior, and one who controls his temper is better than one who captures a city.

A person's wisdom makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and boundless in loyal love -- often relenting from calamitous punishment.

He prayed to the Lord and said, "Oh, Lord, this is just what I thought would happen when I was in my own country. This is what I tried to prevent by attempting to escape to Tarshish! -- because I knew that you are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in mercy, and one who relents concerning threatened judgment.

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
