Proverbs 14:29 (Listen)

29 Whoever is sslow to anger has great understanding,

but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

32 jWhoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

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

11 pGood sense makes one slow to anger,

and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

23 When you sit down to eat with a ruler,

observe carefully what1 is before you,

2 and put a knife to your throat

if you are given to appetite.

3 cDo not desire his delicacies,

for they are deceptive food.

[1] 23:1 Or who

28 A man swithout self-control

is like ta city broken into and left without walls.
