Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of
fools. A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger
appeaseth strife. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he
that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Make no friendship with
an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go ....but wise men turn
away wrath. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious
and an angry woman. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:
Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous... A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger... put off all these; anger, wrath,
malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth..... let every
man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man
worketh not the righteousness of God.
Ecclesiastes 7:9, Proverbs 15:18, Proverbs 16:32, Proverbs 22:24, Proverbs 29:8
