Job 20:2

²⁹He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

The spirit within me constrains me. ¹⁹Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst. ²⁰I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
