For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of
God.
] This is so far from engaging persons to do that which is right
and acceptable in the sight of God, that it puts them upon doing
that which is evil. The Alexandrian copy reads, "with the wrath
of men do not work the righteousness of God"; do not attend upon
the word and ordinances of God with a wrathful spirit. Compare,
with this, ( 1 Timothy
2:8 ) .
