יהוה is compassionate and showing favour, Patient, and great in loving-commitment.
He who is patient has great understanding, But he who is short of spirit exalts folly.
A man of wrath stirs up strife, But he who is patient appeases strife.
Better to be lowly in spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Grey hair is a crown of adorning, It is found in the way of righteousness.
The lot is cast into the lap, But every decision by it is from יהוה.
A man’s discretion makes him patient, And his adorning is to pass over a transgression.
Through patience a ruler is persuaded, And a soft tongue shatters a bone.
A man who has no control over his spirit Is like a broken-down city without a wall.
The end of a matter is better than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Do not be hasty in your spirit to be vexed, for vexation rests in the bosom of fools.
So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath,
“To him who overcomes I shall give to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
