The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
