A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who does not control his temper.
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brot
