A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
What does Proverbs 12:16 mean?
A foolish man is soon angry, and is hasty in expressing it; he is ever in trouble and running into mischief. It is kindness to ourselves to make light of injuries and affronts, instead of making the worst of them.
