Proverbs 14:29

He who is slow to anger has great discernment,

But he who is quick‑tempered raises up folly.

Proverbs 16:32

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

And he who rules his own spirit, than he who captures a city.

A man’s insight makes him slow to anger,

And it is his honor to overlook a transgression.

When you sit down to dine with a ruler,

Understand well what is before you,

So you should put a knife to your throat

If you are a man of appetite.

Do not desire his delicacies,

For it is bread of falsehood.

Like a city that is broken into and without a wall

Is a man without restraint over his spirit.

A man who hardens his neck after much reproof

Will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
