My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers all offenses.

Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but whoever gossips about it separates friends.

A person who does not control his temper is like a city whose wall is broken down.

Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying,“ May the gods punish me and do so severely if I don’t make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow!”

Then Saul became angry with Jonathan and shouted,“ You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you are siding with Jesse’s son to your own shame and to the disgrace of your mother?Every day Jesse’s son lives on earth you and your kingship are not secure. Now send for him and bring him to me— he must die!”Jonathan answered his father back,“ Why is he to be killed? What has he done?”Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, so he knew that his father was determined to kill David.He got up from the table fiercely angry and did not eat any food that second day of the New Moon, for he was grieved because of his father’s shameful behavior toward David.

Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly.

Wisdom resides in the heart of the discerning; she is known even among fools.
