This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_19:19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver [him], yet thou must do it again.
Ver. 19. A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment.] He that lays the reins on the neck, and sets no bounds to his wrath, whether in chastising his child, or otherwise, shall be sure to smart for it: shall bring himself and his friends into great trouble. Such, therefore, as are choleric should pray much, and prevent all occasions of wrath; as Callius and Cotis, because they would not be stirred up to anger, burned their enemies’ letters before they were read. The like did Pompey to the letters of Sertorius, and Caesar to Pompey’s letters.
