“He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. hasty: Heb. short of spirit”
Proverbs 14:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 14:29
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding, but he that is hasty of spirit exalts folly. Emotional self-control demonstrates wisdom; quick anger reveals folly. The 'slow to wrath' person exercises restraint through understanding. The hasty-spirited person 'exalts' (rum - lifts high, promotes) folly through uncontrolled anger. James echoes this principle (James 1:19-20). Anger management isn't merely therapeutic but reveals character - wise or foolish.
