Proverbs 16:32

Lexham English Bible

³²He who is slow to anger^[a] is better than him who is mighty,
and he who controls his spirit than him who captures a city.

Proverbs 16:32

International Standard Version

³²Whoever controls his temper is better than a warrior,
and anyone who has control of his spirit is better
than someone who captures a city.

²⁸A breached city where there is no wall
is like a man who has no^[a] self-control for his spirit.

²⁸Like a city with breached walls
is a man without self-control.

¹¹A fool gives all his breath,^[a]
but the wise holds back in quiet.

¹¹The fool vents all his feelings,^[a]
but the wise person keeps them to himself.^[b]
