²⁰ Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

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

¹² Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

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

⁵ The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; And everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.

² Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

¹¹ A fool vents all of his anger, But a wise man brings himself under control.
