Slow to Anger


Old Testament wisdom from Solomon:

Ecclesiastes 7:9 (ESV)
Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the heart of fools.

 

New Testament wisdom from the Apostle James:

James 1:19-20
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Similar advice, from two different men in two different eras. It’s timeless wisdom.
