Proverbs 16:32

World English Bible

³²One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
one who rules his spirit, than he who takes 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.

²⁸Like a city that is broken down and without walls
is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

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

¹¹A fool vents all of his anger,
but a wise man brings himself under control.

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