Proverbs 22:24

Bible in Basic English 1965

Do not be friends with a man who is given to wrath; do not go in the company of an angry man:

See the chapter Copy

Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.

An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.

The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.

An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong.
