¹⁷A quick-tempered person acts foolishly,
And a person of evil devices is hated.

Proverbs 14:17

New International Version

¹⁷A quick-tempered person^(A) does foolish things,^(B)
and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.^(C)

³²One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And one who rules his spirit, than one who captures a city.

³²Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

¹¹A person’s ^(A)discretion makes him slow to anger,
And it is his glory ^(B)to overlook an offense.

¹¹A person’s wisdom yields patience;^(A)
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
