²⁹ People with understanding control their anger;
    a hot temper shows great foolishness.

³² Better to be patient than powerful;
    better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

¹¹ Sensible people control their temper;
    they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

23 While dining with a ruler,
    pay attention to what is put before you.
² If you are a big eater,
    put a knife to your throat;
³ don’t desire all the delicacies,
    for he might be trying to trick you.
