²⁹ Patience leads to abundant understanding,
    but impatience leads to stupid mistakes.

³² Better to be patient than a warrior,
    and better to have self-control than to capture a city.

¹¹ Insightful people restrain their anger;
    their glory is to ignore an offense.

23 When you sit down to dine with a ruler,
    carefully consider what is in front of you.
² Place a knife at your throat
    to control your appetite.
³ Don’t long for the ruler’s delicacies;
    the food misleads.

²⁸ A person without self-control
    is like a breached city, one with no walls.
