Proverbs 16:32

New International Version

³²Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

Proverbs 16:32

King James Version

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

²⁸Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.

²⁸He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

¹¹Fools give full vent to their rage,^(A)
but the wise bring calm in the end.^(B)

¹¹A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

New International Version (NIV)
