Proverbs 16:32

New International Version

³²Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

Proverbs 16:32

World English Bible

³²One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

²⁸Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.

²⁸Like a city that is broken down and without walls
is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

¹¹Fools give full vent to their rage,^(A)
but the wise bring calm in the end.^(B)

¹¹A fool vents all of his anger,
but a wise man brings himself under control.

New International Version (NIV)
