17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,And a man of evil devices is hated.
29 He who is (A)slow to anger has great understanding,But he who is [a]quick-tempered exalts folly.
18 A (A)hot-tempered man stirs up strife,But the (B)slow to anger (C)calms a dispute.
24 Do not associate with a man given to anger;Or go with a (A)hot-tempered man,25 Or you will (B)learn his waysAnd [a]find a snare for yourself.
8 Do not go out (A)hastily to [a]argue your case;[b]Otherwise, what will you do in [c]the end,When your neighbor humiliates you?
