Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do
not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
Psalms 37:8
A wise man is cautious and turns away
from evil, But a fool is arrogant and careless. A quick-tempered
man acts foolishly, And a man of evil devices is hated.
Proverbs 14:16-17
He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.
Proverbs 14:29
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but
a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
He who is slow to anger is better than
the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
Proverbs 16:32
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:9
But I say to you that everyone who is
angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever
says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before
the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty
enough to go into the fiery hell.
Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember
that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before
the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present
your offering.
Matthew 5:22-24
For if you forgive others for their transgressions,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:14
Never take your own revenge, beloved,
but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, 'VENGEANCE
IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,' says the Lord. 'BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY,
FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING
YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.' Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:19-24
BE ANGRY, AND YET DO NOT SIN; do not let
the sun go down on your anger.

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger
and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just
as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:31-32
But now you also, put them all aside:
anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.
Colossians 3:8
For we know Him who said, 'VENGEANCE
IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.' And again, 'THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.'
Hebrews 10:30
This you know, my beloved brethren. But
everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
