Proverbs 22:24

New International Reader's Version

Don’t be a friend of a person who has a bad temper. Don’t go around with a person who gets angry easily.

See the chapter Copy

Walk with wise people and become wise. A companion of foolish people suffers harm.

A person with a bad temper stirs up conflict. But a person who is patient calms things down.

A proud person is called a mocker. He thinks much too highly of himself.

An angry person stirs up fights. And a person with a bad temper commits many sins.
