This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That is hasty of spirit - קצר רוח ketsar ruach, “the short of spirit;” one that is easily irritated; and, being in a passion, he is agitated so as to be literally short of breath. Here put in opposition to ארך אפים erech appayim, long of nostrils; see on Pro 14:17 (note); and of the same import with St. Paul’s μακροθυμια, longsuffering, longmindedness. See on Eph 4:2 (note).
