29 Whoever is patient has great understanding,
but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
30 A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.
Proverbs 15:1,18
A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict,
but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.
Proverbs 6:32
32 But a man who commits adultery has no sense;
whoever does so destroys himself.
Proverbs 19:11,19
11 A person’s wisdom yields patience;
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
19 A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty;
rescue them, and you will have to do it again.
Proverbs 24:28-29
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause—
would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”
Proverbs 25:21-22
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
