Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.

Foolish people are easily upset. But wise people pay no attention to hurtful words.

A fool is quick tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted.

A fool’s displeasure is known at once, but whoever ignores an insult is sensible.

A fool’s anger is known at once, But a prudent person conceals dishonor.

A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.

A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.

A fool’s displeasure is known at once, but whoever ignores an insult is sensible.

A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent[ man] covereth shame.

A fool’s annoyance is known at once, but the prudent overlooks an insult.

A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.

A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying,“ So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.”

Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him,“ You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.”Then Jonathan answered Saul his father,“ Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”But Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him. So Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.

Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.
