²⁹ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding, but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

¹¹ The discretion of a man deferreth his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

23 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee;

² and put a knife to thy throat if thou be a man given to appetite.

³ Be not desirous of his dainties, for they are deceitful meat.

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