Back to passage

(Now the man Moses was very humble, more so than any man on the face of the earth.)

A person who has a quick temper will do foolish things, and a person with crafty schemes will be hated.

Better to be slow to anger than to be a mighty warrior, and one who controls his temper is better than one who captures a city.

Do not make friends with an angry person, and do not associate with a wrathful person,

Like a city that is broken down and without a wall, so is a person who cannot control his temper.

Do not let yourself be quickly provoked, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and his disposition changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than it was normally heated.

Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Living Out the Message Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
