Do not let your mouth lead your flesh into sin, and do not tell the messenger that it [was] a mistake. Why anger God at your words, so that he destroys the work of your hands?

The end of a matter [is] better than its beginning; {better to be slow to anger than hot-headed}.

Do not be quick in your spirit to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.

If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your post, for calmness can undo great offenses.
