Proverbs 16:30-32
New King James Version
30 He winks his eye to devise perverse things;
He [a]purses his lips and brings about evil.
31 (A)The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
32 (B)He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Proverbs 16:30-32
New International Version
30 Whoever winks(A) with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;(B)
it is attained in the way of righteousness.

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