Proverbios 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.

Proverbios 14:17 In-Context

15 El ingenuo cree todo lo que le dicen;el prudente se fija por dónde va.
16 El sabio teme al SEÑOR y se aparta del mal,pero el necio es arrogante y se pasa de confiado.
17 El iracundo comete locuras,pero el prudente sabe aguantar.
18 Herencia de los inexpertos es la necedad;corona de los prudentes, el conocimiento.
19 Los malvados se postrarán ante los buenos;los impíos, ante el tribunal de los justos.
