Proverbs 12:16

An ^aignorant fool’s ¹anger is known at once,

But a prudent man conceals disgrace.

Proverbs 14:17

A quick‑tempered man acts in folly,

And a man of evil schemes is hated.

He who is ^aslow to anger has great discernment,

But he who is ¹quick‑tempered raises up folly.

A ^agentle answer turns away wrath,

But a ¹^bharsh word stirs up anger.

A ^ahot‑tempered man stirs up strife,

But the ^bslow to anger ^cquiets a dispute.

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

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

Let a ^aman meet a ^bbear robbed of her cubs,

Rather than a fool in his folly.

It is also not good to ^apunish the righteous,

Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
