¹⁷ He that is soon angry will deal foolishly;
And a man of wicked devices is hated.

²⁹ He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;
But he that is hasty of spirit ^[a]exalteth folly.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up contention;
But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

²⁴ Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger;
And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:
²⁵ Lest thou learn his ways,
And get a snare to thy soul.

⁸ Go not forth hastily to strive,
^[a]Lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof,
When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
