29  Whoever is ^sslow to anger has great understanding,

but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

1  ^dA soft answer turns away wrath,

but ^ea harsh word stirs up anger.

28  A man ^swithout self-control

is like ^ta city broken into and left without walls.

11  A fool gives full vent to his spirit,

but a wise man quietly holds it back.
