32 (A)Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
32 Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
28 A man (A)without self-control is like (B)a city broken into and left without walls.
28 A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
11 Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.
