The Way of Wisdom : Anger

Proverbs 14:17, 29-30 NLT
17 Short-tempered people do foolish things, and schemers are hated.

29 People with understanding control their anger;
     a hot temper shows great foolishness.

30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body;
     jealousy is like cancer in the bones.

Proverbs 15:1, 18 NLT 

1 A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.
18 A hot-tempered person starts fights; a cool-tempered person stops them.

Proverbs 16:32 NLT  Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

Proverbs 19:11, 19 NLT
 11 Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.
19 Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again.

Proverbs 22:24-25 NLT
 24 Don’t befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people, 25 or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul.

Proverbs 24:28-29 NLT
  28 Don’t testify against your neighbors without cause; don’t lie about them. 29 And don’t say, “Now I can pay them back for what they’ve done to me! I’ll get even with them!”

Proverbs 29:8, 22 NLT
 8 Mockers can get a whole town agitated, but the wise will calm anger.
