³⁰ Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don't I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

²⁴ The proud and haughty man, "scoffer" is his name; He works in the arrogance of pride.

¹⁹ So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

²⁰ for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.

⁴ You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

³¹ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.

²² But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca{"Raca" is an Aramaic insult, related to the word for "empty" and conveying the idea of empty-headedness.}!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna{Gehenna is another name for Hell that brings to mind an image of a burning garbage dump with dead bodies in it.}.

³ A stone is heavy, And sand is a burden; But a fool's provocation is heavier than both.

²⁸ Like a city that is broken down and without walls Is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

¹⁹ A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, For if you rescue him, you must do it again.

¹² The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass.

² The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, But the mouth of fools gush out folly.

²⁹ He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who has a quick temper displays folly.

² For resentment kills the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple.
