32 Patience is better than power,and controlling one’s temper,[a] than capturing a city.(A)
32 Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
28 A man who does not control his temper(A)is like a city whose wall is broken down.(B)
28 A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.
11 A fool gives full vent to his anger,[a](A)but a wise man holds it in check.(B)
11 Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.
