²⁷ He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

¹⁹ Ye know `this', my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

²⁹ He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

² For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

¹⁷ The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.
