And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

{He that is} slow to wrath {is} of great understanding: but {he that is} hasty of spirit exalteth folly. {hasty...: Heb. short of spirit}

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips {is} wise.

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same {is} a perfect man, {and} able also to bridle the whole body.

The words of wise {men are} heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

{He that is} slow to anger {is} better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips {is} wise.

Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit {was} in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

The righteous {is} more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. {excellent: or, abundant}

Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. {interpreting: or, of an interpreter} {dissolving: or, of a dissolver} {doubts: Chaldee, knots}
