You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. | So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. |
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. | The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. |

Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but one who has a hasty temper exalts folly. | He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly. |
The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. | The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. |
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city. | He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. |
The Lord is slow to anger but great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. | The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, And will not at all acquit the wicked. The Lord has His way In the whirlwind and in the storm, And the clouds are the dust of His feet. |
Rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing. | So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. |
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us. | Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. |
