A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 15 of Proverbs. The passage states that the Lord knows even Sheol and the heart, establishing a radical vision of human transparency before God. Joy, sorrow, patience, and pride are examined from this perspective. A wise son brings joy to his father, while a foolish one despises his mother. Wisdom therefore affects both inner life and family relationships.

Ein zorniger Mann richtet Hader an; ein Geduldiger aber stillt den Zank.
El hombre iracundo mueve contiendas: Mas el que tarde se enoja, apaciguará la rencilla.
Un homme violent excite des querelles, Mais celui qui est lent à la colère apaise les disputes.
L’uomo iracondo muove contese; Ma chi è lento all’ira acqueta le risse
O homem iracundo suscita contendas, mas o longânimo apaziguará a luta.
暴怒的人挑啟爭端; 忍怒的人止息紛爭。
