29 Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty
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.
32 Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
32 Moderation is better than muscle, self-control better than political power.
32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
32 Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
(Read Proverbs 16:32)
To overcome our own passions, requires more steady management, than obtaining victory over an enemy.

(Read Proverbs 14:29)
A mild, patient man is one that learns of Christ, who is Wisdom itself. Unbridled passion is folly made known.
