Proverbs 14:29

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.

but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, and a crafty man is hated.

One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

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

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.

A man who isolates himself pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.

It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.

Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Don’t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don’t persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
