Proverbs 29:22

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

See here the mischief that flows from an angry, passionate, furious

disposition. 1. It makes men provoking to one another: An angry man

stirs up strife, is troublesome and quarrelsome in the family and in

the neighbourhood, blows the coals, and even forces those to fall out

with him that would live peaceable and quietly by him. 2. It makes men

provoking to God: A furious man, who is wedded to his humours and

passions, cannot but abound in transgressions. Undue anger is a sin

which is the cause of many sins; it not only hinders men from calling

upon God's name, but it occasions their swearing, and cursing, and

profaning God's name.
