Proverbs 16:32

New Living Translation

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

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

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

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

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