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 immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.
For wrath killeth the foolish man, And envy slayeth the silly one.
Hatred stirreth up strifes: But love covereth all sins.
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: But a false witness deceit.
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: But that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: But the instruction of fools is folly.
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
He that hath no rule over his own spirit Is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; But a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
A fool uttereth all his mind: But a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
