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

International Standard Version

³²Whoever controls his temper is better than a warrior,
and anyone who has control of his spirit is better
than someone who captures a city.

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

²⁸Like a city with breached walls
is a man without self-control.

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

¹¹The fool vents all his feelings,^[a]
but the wise person keeps them to himself.^[b]
