32 (A)Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
32 Patience is better than power,and controlling one’s temper,[a] than capturing a city.(A)
28 A man (A)without self-control is like (B)a city broken into and left without walls.
28 A man who does not control his temper(A)is like a city whose wall is broken down.(B)
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
11 A fool gives full vent to his anger,[a](A)but a wise man holds it in check.(B)
