Proverbs 16:32 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 32. He that is slow to anger, keeping himself well in hand always, controlling his temper, is better than the mighty, a champion fighter, who is always engaged in battle; and he that ruleth his spirit, holding his temper in leash, than he that taketh a city, for not quarreling and fighting upon the slightest provocation is the sign of greatness of mind, but a meekness which is able to control a person's feelings and gains its point by its very unshakable tranquility.

Proverbs 16:32

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