17  A man of ^cquick temper acts foolishly,

and a man of evil devices is hated.

18  ^eA hot-tempered man ^fstirs up strife,

but he who is ^gslow to anger quiets contention.

19  A man of great wrath will pay the penalty,

for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.

24  Make no friendship with a man given to anger,

nor go with a wrathful man,
