But he who is quick-tempered exposes and exalts his foolishness [for all to see]. [Prov 16:32; James 1:19]

but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.

29He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;

But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

But anyone who gets angry quickly shows how foolish they are.

29A patient man shows that he understands what is right.

But someone who quickly becomes angry shows that he is foolish.

29Whoever is slow to anger [is] of great understanding, || And whoever is short in temper is exalting folly.
