Proverbs 12:16

¹¹A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.

¹⁹So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

¹²Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.

⁹He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.

²⁸Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

²²Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.

³³Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools.

¹Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. ²Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”

³⁰Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness? ³¹For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”

³²Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”

³³Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death. ³⁴So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
