¹⁷A quick-tempered person^(A) does foolish things,^(B)
and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.^(C)

³²^(A)He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

one with self-control than one who takes a city.

For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
