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.

Proverbs 16:32

Common English Bible

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

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

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

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

¹¹Fools show all their anger,
but the wise hold it back.
