29 Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
29 Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding; a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.
29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly.
29 People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Commentary on Proverbs 14:29
(Read Proverbs 14:29)
A mild, patient man is one that learns of Christ, who is Wisdom itself. Unbridled passion is folly made known.
