Anger » Brings its own punishment
“For anger slays the foolish man,
And jealousy kills the simple (naive).
A man of great anger will bear the penalty [for his quick temper and lack of self-control];
For if you rescue him [and do not let him learn from the consequences of his action], you will only have to rescue him over and over again.
Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected]
Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble].
Wrath » Wrathful » Men
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger and patient calms disputes.
An angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered and undisciplined man commits many transgressions.
A man of great anger will bear the penalty [for his quick temper and lack of self-control];
For if you rescue him [and do not let him learn from the consequences of his action], you will only have to rescue him over and over again.
