Sirach 1:22-24

Common English Bible

²² Unjust anger won’t be justified,
    for the tipping point of one’s anger
    is one’s downfall.
²³ Patient people will hold themselves back
until the right moment,
    and afterward they will be paid back
    with joy.
²⁴ They will hide their words
until the right moment,
    and many will talk about
    their good judgment.
