Proverbs 14:29-31
International Standard Version

29 Being slow to get angry compares to great understanding
    as being quick-tempered compares to stupidity.
30 A tranquil mind brings life to one’s body,
    but jealousy causes one’s bones to rot.

31 Whoever oppresses the poor defies their Creator,
    but whoever is kind to the needy honors them.
