Proverbs 14:29 [He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding Or "long in wrath" F5; it is long before he is angry; he is longsuffering, bears much and long, is very patient; such an one appears to understand himself and human nature, and has a great command over his passions; which shows him to be a man of great wisdom and understanding; but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly; or is "short of spirit" F6; is soon angry; presently discovers resentment in his words, looks, and gestures; such an one "exalts folly", prefers it to wisdom, sets it above himself, and makes it his master: or he "lifts" it F7 up; exposes his folly to public view, so that it is seen of all men to his disgrace.
