Proverbs 16:27-33
Tree of Life Version

Slow to Anger

27 A wicked scoundrel digs up evil,
and on his lips is a scorching fire.[a]
28 A perverse person sows strife,
and a gossip separates close friends.
29 A violent person lures his neighbor,
leading him down a path that is no good.
30 One who winks his eyes schemes deceit,
one who purses his lips is bent on evil.

31 Gray hair is a crown of glory,
found on the path of righteousness.

32 Better to be slow to anger than a mighty warrior.
One who controls his temper is better than one who conquers a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap,
but their very decision is from Adonai.
