Proverbs 29:11
Fools give full vent to their rage,
but the wise bring calm in the end.
[New International Version]
This verse embodies the difference between impulsive and thoughtful behavior.
It teaches that fools openly express their anger without restraint, often leading to negative consequences. In contrast, wise individuals practice self-control, managing their emotions to maintain peace and resolve situations calmly.
The value of patience and emotional discipline are hallmarks of wisdom. The verse encourages us to approach conflicts with composure rather than letting anger dictate our actions.
