Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret it only causes harm. Psalm 37:8
A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self- confident. A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of wicked intentions is hated. Proverbs 14:16,17
He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
But he who is impulsive exalts folly. Pr 14:29
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than
he who takes a city. Pr 16:32
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression. Pr 19:11
Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man do not go,
lest you learn his ways, and set a snare for your soul.

Do
not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools. Ecclesiastes
7:9
But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of
the council. But whoever says, You fool! shall be in danger of hell fire.
23Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother
has something against you,
24leave your gift there before the altar, and go
your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Matthew 22-24
But
now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Colossians 3:8

then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce
the righteousness of God. James 1:19,20

Be angry, and do not sin:
do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Ephesians
4:26,27
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ep 4:31,32
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive
men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew
6:14,15
And
in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry,
and his countenance fell. So the Lord
said to Cain, Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7If you do well, will you not be accepted?
And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it. Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose
up against Abel his brother and killed him. Genesis 4:3-8
An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.
Proverbs 29:22
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

Abundant
in kindness, and did not forsake them.
