Self-controlAngerPatienceStrength and help in weakness

30 Den som blunker med øyet planlegger perversitet; den som presser leppene sammen bringer ondt til å skje.

31 Grått hår er en krone av prakt; det finnes på rettferdighetens vei.

Bedre en tålmodig person enn en kriger, en som kontrollerer sin ånd enn en som inntar en by.

33 Loddet kastes i fanget, men dets hver beslutning kommer fra Herren.
