Proverbs 29:20

New Century Version

Do you see people who speak too quickly? There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.

See the chapter Copy

Patient people have great understanding, but people with quick tempers show their foolishness.

Enthusiasm without knowledge is not good. If you act too quickly, you might make a mistake.

The plans of hard-working people earn a profit, but those who act too quickly become poor.

There is more hope for a foolish person than for those who think they are wise.

Foolish people lose their tempers, but wise people control theirs.

Words alone cannot correct a servant, because even if they understand, they won’t respond.

If you spoil your servants when they are young, they will bring you grief later on.

Think before you speak, and be careful about what you say to God. God is in heaven, and you are on the earth, so say only a few words to God.

My dear brothers and sisters, always be willing to listen and slow to speak. Do not become angry easily,
