²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
    and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
²² for you will heap coals of fire upon his head,
    and the Lord will reward you.

²⁸ He who has no rule over his own spirit
    is like a city that is broken down and without walls.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous,
    but who is able to stand before envy?

⁸ Scornful men bring a city into a snare,
    but wise men turn away wrath.

⁹ If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
    whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

¹¹ A fool utters all his mind,
    but a wise man keeps it in until afterwards.

²² An angry man stirs up strife,
    and a furious man abounds in transgression.

³² If you have been foolish in lifting up yourself,
    or if you have thought evil,
    put your hand on your mouth.
³³ Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter,
    and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood,
    so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
