Matthew Poole and continuators on James 1:20

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God .

That anger which is meerly humane, and generally sinful inordinate passion, and carnal zeal

will not acomplish the ends of the Word in you, viz. to work that righteousness, which in the Word God prescribes you. But here is withall a Meiosis in the Words, less being spoken than is intended; it is implied therefore, that the wrath of Man hinders the operation of the Word, and disposeth to that unrighteousness which is forbidden by it.
