Proverbs 14:17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷He who is short of temper^[a] will act foolishly,
and the man who schemes will be hated.

Proverbs 14:17

International Standard Version

¹⁷A quick tempered person does foolish things,
and a devious man is hated.

²⁹He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
but the hasty of spirit^[a] exalts folly.

²⁹Being slow to get angry compares to great understanding
as being quick-tempered compares to stupidity.
