Proverbs 16:30-32
Complete Jewish Bible
30 One who winks knowingly is planning deceit;
one who pinches his lips together has already done wrong.
31 White hair is a crown of honor
obtained by righteous living.
32 He who controls his temper is better than a war hero,
he who rules his spirit better than he who captures a city.

30 Whoever winks(A) with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
