¹⁶ An ^(A)ignorant fool’s ^[a]anger is known at once,
But a prudent man conceals disgrace.

¹⁶ A wise man fears and ^(A)turns away from evil,
But a fool gets angry and feels secure.
¹⁷ A quick-tempered man acts in folly,
And a man of evil schemes is hated.

²⁹ He who is ^(A)slow to anger has great discernment,
But he who is ^[a]quick-tempered raises up folly.

¹⁸ A ^(A)hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But the ^(B)slow to anger ^(C)quiets a dispute.

³² He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his own spirit, than he who captures a city.
