This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_29:22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
Ver. 22. An angry man stirreth up strife.] See Pro_15:18; Pro_16:21.
And a furious man.] Heb. A master of fury; or one that is mastered and overmatched by his fury; that hath no command of his passions, but is transported by them, or - as some make the metaphor, and the original will well bear it - is wedded to them as a man is to his wife: commanded by them, as the Persian kings were by their concubines, being captivarum suarum captivi, {a} slaves to their slaves. Such a man being big with wrath, not only breeds contention, but brings forth transgression in great abundance, he "sets his mouth against heaven, and his tongue walketh through the earth," &c., {Psa_73:9} he lets fly on both hands, and lays about him like a madman.
{a} Plutarch.
