²⁷ He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

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

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

²⁹ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

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

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

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

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