A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
A fool's wrath is presently known: But a prudent man covereth shame.
A fool's wrath is quickly and openly known, but a prudent man ignores an insult.
A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.
Fools reveal their anger right away, but the shrewd hide their contempt.
The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.
A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools.
Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.
He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.
So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
