Proverbs 16:32

New American Standard Bible

³²One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And one who rules his spirit, than one who captures a city.

Proverbs 16:32

New Living Translation

³²Better to be patient than powerful;
better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

²⁸Like a ^(A)city that is broken into and without walls
So is a person ^(B)who has no self-control over his spirit.

²⁸A person without self-control
is like a city with broken-down walls.

¹¹A ^(A)fool ^[a]always loses his temper,
But a ^(B)wise person holds it back.

¹¹Fools vent their anger,
but the wise quietly hold it back.
