A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.

Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.

Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say,“ May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”

Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him,“ You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!”“ Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” Jonathan asked his father.But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father’s shameful treatment of David.

Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools.

Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known.
