Slow To Anger

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

• Power

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

• Abundant
• Truth

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

• Temporary

He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

• Covenant

(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

• Works

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
