Don’t become angry quickly. Anger lives in the hearts of foolish people.

What you have just said dishonors me. So I really have to reply to you.

Can others bring charges against me? If they can, I’ll keep quiet and die.

I can tell you for certain that they really want to serve God. But how they are trying to do it is not based on knowledge.

I was afraid and said,“ I’ve been cut off from you!” But you heard my cry for your favor. You heard me when I called out to you for help.

At once the girl hurried to ask the king. She said,“ I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a big plate right now.”

My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.

When I was terrified, I said to myself,“ No one tells the truth.”

Anyone who is patient has great understanding. But anyone who gets angry quickly shows how foolish they are.

Have you seen someone who speaks without thinking? There is more hope for foolish people than for that person.

“ Job, suppose someone tries to talk to you. Will that make you uneasy? I can’t keep from speaking up.

Don’t claim,‘ We have enough wisdom to answer Job.’ Let God, not a mere man, prove that he’s wrong.Job hasn’t directed his words against me. I won’t answer him with your arguments.“ Job, these men are afraid. They don’t have anything else to say. They’ve run out of words.Do I have to keep on waiting, now that they are silent? They are just standing there with nothing to say.I too have something to say. I too will tell what I know.I’m full of words. My spirit inside me forces me to speak.Inside I’m like wine that is bottled up. I’m like new wineskins ready to burst.I must speak so I can feel better. I must open my mouth and reply.

Sometimes I think,“ I won’t talk about his message anymore. I’ll never speak in his name again.” But then your message burns in my heart. It’s like a fire deep inside my bones. I’m tired of holding it in. In fact, I can’t.

So I was completely silent. I didn’t even say anything good. But the pain inside me grew worse.My heart was deeply troubled. As I thought about what was happening to me, I became even more troubled. Then I spoke out.
