⁸ Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.

³¹ Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

²⁹ He who is slow to be angry has great good sense; but he whose spirit is over-quick gives support to what is foolish.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

¹⁶ For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

²⁶ Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

³² He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.

¹⁹ You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

¹⁴ A curse on the day of my birth: let there be no blessing on the day when my mother had me.

¹⁵ A curse on the man who gave the news to my father, saying, You have a male child; making him very glad.

¹¹ Though I said in my fear, All men are false.

¹⁵ If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

²² And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.

⁴ But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

²¹ Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.
