Proverbs 16:32

New International Version

³²Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

Proverbs 16:32

Common English Bible

³²Better to be patient than a warrior,
and better to have self-control than to capture a city.

²⁸Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.

²⁸A person without self-control
is like a breached city, one with no walls.

¹¹Fools give full vent to their rage,^(A)
but the wise bring calm in the end.^(B)

¹¹Fools show all their anger,
but the wise hold it back.

New International Version (NIV)
