What does the Bible say about angry women?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that anger, whether in women or men, must be governed by God’s wisdom, love, and self-control, while contentious speech and habits wound households and relationships. James 1:19-20 calls believers to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, because human anger does not produce God’s righteousness. Proverbs 21:9, 21:19, 25:24, and 27:15 frankly warn of the misery caused by persistent quarrelsomeness in the home, while Proverbs 15:1 commends a gentle answer that turns away wrath. Yet Scripture’s aim is not merely outward quietness: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 calls all Christians to patient, kind love, and Titus 2:3-5 urges godly women to model reverent, faithful character.
