Proverbs 12:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 12:16
A fool's wrath is presently known, but a prudent man covers shame. Fools immediately display anger - no self-control delays emotional expression. Prudent persons conceal insult (kelon - disgrace, dishonor) rather than reacting visibly. This verse contrasts impulsive emotional reaction with measured response. Wisdom includes emotional regulation; folly includes uncontrolled expression.
