Two key words

Proverbs 16:32 “Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.” For a conqueror to dominate an entire population one would think—that is impressive and the conqueror must be an impressive celebrity.  God, however, wants us to learn that patience and self-control are more admirable qualities.  Celebrity status can easily result in a loss of humility and be therefore detrimental to a person’s life.
