17  A man of quick temper acts foolishly,

and ⁱa man of evil devices is hated.

29  Whoever is ^sslow to anger has great understanding,

but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

18  ^sA hot-tempered man stirs up strife,

but he who is ^tslow to anger quiets contention.

32  Whoever is ^pslow to anger is better than the mighty,

and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

11  Good sense makes one ^oslow to anger,

and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

9  Be not quick in your spirit to become ^oangry,

for anger lodges in the heart¹ of fools.
