Slow To Speak

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

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

• Moses
• Despondency

And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

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

Do not err, my beloved brethren.

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

• 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.

• Anger

And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

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

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