Proverbs 14:17 (Listen)

17 A man of cquick temper acts foolishly,

and a 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 eA hot-tempered man fstirs up strife,

but he who is gslow to anger quiets contention.

24 Make no friendship with a man given to anger,

nor go with a wrathful man,

25 lest you learn his ways

and entangle yourself in a snare.

8 wdo not hastily bring into court,

for1 what will you do in the end,

when your neighbor puts you to shame?

[1] 25:8 Hebrew or else
