Verse 18. An angry man stirreth up contention: but he that is slow to wrath, appeaseth strife.
Verse 18. An angry man stirreth vp contention: but hee that is slow to wrath, appeaseth strife.
AN angry man] Such over whom wrath and passion hath power, and in whom it reigneth, (for in the original text he is called a man of anger) [stirreth up contention] increaseth dissension where he findeth discord, and maketh debate where peace was before: [but he that is slow to wrath] which can govern his affections, and not be angry without cause; or beyond measure, [appeaseth strife] endeavoureth to pacify that displeasure which one man hath conceived against another: so that he is not only unlike to him that is given to anger, and will not raise contention as he doth, but taketh a course quite contrary to his, in reconciling them that be at variance.
