²¹ If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat;
and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
²² for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head,
and the Lord shall reward thee.

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

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous;
but who is able to stand before envy?

⁸ Scornful men bring a city into a snare:
but wise men turn away wrath.

⁹ If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man,
whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

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

²² An angry man stirreth up strife,
and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

³² If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,
or if thou hast thought evil,
lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
³³ Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,
and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood:
so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
