傳道書 7:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 7:9

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry
With men, for every word that is said, or action done, that is not agreeable; encourage not, but repress, sudden angry emotions of the mind; be not quick of resentment, and at once express anger and displeasure; but be slow to wrath, for such a man is better than the mighty, ( James 1:19 ) ( Proverbs 16:32 ) ; or with God, for his corrections and chastisements; so the Targum,

``in the time that correction from heaven comes upon thee, do not hasten in thy soul to be hot (or angry) to say words of rebellion (or stubbornness) against heaven;''
that advice is good,
``do nothing in anger F12;''
for anger resteth in the bosom of fools;
where it riseth quick, and continues long; here it soon betrays itself, and finds easy admittance, and a resting dwelling place; it easily gets in, but it is difficult to get it out of the heart of a fool; both which are proofs of his folly, ( Proverbs 12:16 ) ( 14:17 ) ; see ( Ephesians 4:26 ) ; the bosom, or breast, is commonly represented as the seat of anger by other writers F13.

傳道書 7:9 In-Context

7 勒 索 使 智 慧 人 變 為 愚 妄 ; 賄 賂 能 敗 壞 人 的 慧 心 。
8 事 情 的 終 局 強 如 事 情 的 起 頭 ; 存 心 忍 耐 的 , 勝 過 居 心 驕 傲 的 。
9 你 不 要 心 裡 急 躁 惱 怒 , 因 為 惱 怒 存 在 愚 昧 人 的 懷 中 。
10 不 要 說 : 先 前 的 日 子 強 過 如 今 的 日 子 , 是 甚 麼 緣 故 呢 ? 你 這 樣 問 , 不 是 出 於 智 慧 。
11 智 慧 和 產 業 並 好 , 而 且 見 天 日 的 人 得 智 慧 更 為 有 益 。
