He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.

A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own life.

A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.

Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:

Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?

A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.
