And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

[29], He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly. Those who are quick tempered do foolish things such as taking out their anger on someone other than the one at whom it should be aimed.

  8. Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention.

  10. Proverbs 16:32; 25:28 [16:32], He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. [25:28], Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls. Former Texas Tech basketball coach Bobby Knight would be an example of a man who does not control his anger. His antics caused himto lose his job at Indiana University.

  11. James 1:19-20 So then,my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

  14. Romans 12:18-21 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord. 20 Therefore ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.’ 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
