Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.
A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.
Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.
Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.
do not hastily bring into court, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbor puts you to shame?
Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.
Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.
Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated. And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their cloaks, their tunics, their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace. Because the king's order was urgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.
