Proverbs 15:18
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
KJV
Vir iracundus provocat rixas ; qui patiens est mitigat suscitatas.
Vulgate
ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας, μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπρᾳύνει· [1] μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις, ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον.
LXX
A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
