Provérbios 14:17 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 14:17

[He that is] soon angry dealeth foolishly
A man that is quick and short, of a hasty spirit, and presently discovers anger and resentment in his face; he says and does many foolish things, which he afterwards is sorry for, and repents, and is ashamed of; and he is to be pitied and forgiven; and a man of wicked devices is hated;
one that hides his anger, covers his resentment, contrives schemes to revenge himself, and waits an opportunity to put them in execution, is justly hateful to God and men.

15 O simples dá crédito a tudo; mas o prudente atenta para os seus passos.
16 O sábio teme e desvia-se do mal, mas o tolo é arrogante e dá-se por seguro.
17 Quem facilmente se ira fará doidices; mas o homem discreto é paciente;
18 Os simples herdam a estultícia; mas os prudentes se coroam de conhecimento.
19 Os maus inclinam-se perante os bons; e os ímpios diante das portas dos justos.
