A fool’s anger is known at once,
But a prudent man conceals dishonor.
He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.
A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
But he who walks wisely will be delivered.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
Do not go out hastily to argue your case; Otherwise, what will you do in the end, When your neighbor humiliates you? Argue your case with your neighbor, And do not reveal the secret of another, Or he who hears it will reproach you, And the evil report about you will not pass away.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thereby share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.
Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
