He who is slow to wrath is of great understanding, but he who is impatient exalts folly.

A fool's anger is known in a day, but the prudent one covers shame.

A wrathful man stirs up strife, but one who is slow to anger calms the dispute.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Make no friendship with an angry man; and do not go with a man of fury,

An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.

Do not be hasty in your spirit to be angry; for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

a heart that devises evil plans, feet hurrying to run to evil,

The good man obtains favor from Jehovah, but He will condemn a man of wicked devices.

But it was contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Therefore, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus; the people of Mordecai.

So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?

And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman! Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen.

Also the implements of the scoundrel are evil; he devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justice.

For among My people are found wicked ones; they lie in wait, as one who sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

They have grown fat, they gleam. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; they do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may get rich; and they do not judge the right of the needy.
