Proverbs 14:29-31

The Message

²⁹ Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding;
    a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.

³⁰ A sound mind makes for a robust body,
    but runaway emotions corrode the bones.

³¹ You insult your Maker when you exploit the powerless;
    when you’re kind to the poor, you honor God.
