29 Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
29 Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding; a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.
29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly.
29 People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
18 A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.
18 A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.
18 Hot tempers start fights; a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.
18 A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
18 A hot-tempered person starts fights; a cool-tempered person stops them.
(Read Proverbs 15:18)
He that is slow to anger, not only prevents strife, but appeases it, if kindled.

A mild, patient man is one that learns of Christ, who is Wisdom itself. Unbridled passion is folly made known.
