Proverbs 16:32–33

32 Better a patient person than a warrior,

one with self-control than one who takes a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,

but its every decision is from the Lord.

32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,

but its every decision is from the Lord.

32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;

And he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap;

But the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

32 Better to be patient than powerful;

better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

33 We may throw the dice,

but the Lord determines how they fall.

32 Patience is better than strength.

Controlling your temper is better than capturing a city.

33 People throw lots to make a decision,

but the answer comes from the Lord.

32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;

And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap;

But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah.

32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole decision is of Jehovah.

32 Better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. 

Better to be even-tempered than to capture a city. 

33 The dice are thrown, 

but the Lord determines every outcome. 

32 Patience is better than power,

and controlling one’s temper, than capturing a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,

but its every decision is from the Lord.

32 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,

but the decision is the Lord’s alone.

32 He who is slow to anger is better than him who is mighty,

and he who controls his spirit than him who captures a city.

33 The lot will be cast into the lap,

but all of its decisions are from Yahweh.

32 It is better to be patient than to fight.

It is better to control your temper than to take a city.

33 Lots are cast into the lap to make decisions.

But everything they decide comes from the Lord.

32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,

But its every decision is from the Lord.
