Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 12:16

16. A fools wrath is presently known : but a prudent man covereth shame .

By his rash words and indecent actions, whereby he exposeth himself to shame.

Either 1. the shame, or reproach, or injury done to him by others, which he concealeth and beareth with patience and passeth by, as his duty and interest obligeth him to do. Or, 2. his own shame, to which the [illegible: 1+ letters]olly of rash anger would have betrayed him.

Marginal references: Heb. in that day.
