Job 18:4

4 You who ^atear yourself in your anger,
shall the earth be forsaken for you,

Proverbs 14:29

29 Whoever is ^cslow to anger has great understanding,

James 1:19-20

Hearing and Doing the Word

19 ^gKnow this, my beloved brothers: let every person ^hbe quick to hear, ⁱslow to speak, ^jslow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

James 3:14-18

14 But if you have bitter ^kjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not ^lthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, ^mdemonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But ⁿthe wisdom from above is first pure, then ^opeaceable, gentle, open to reason, ^pfull of mercy and good fruits, ^qimpartial and ^rsincere. 18 And ^sa harvest of righteousness ^tis sown in peace by those who make peace.
