Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 14:16

16 A wise man feareth , and departeth from evil , but the fool rageth and is confident .

Trembleth at God's judgments when they are either inflicted or threatned.

From sin, which is the procuring cause of all calamities.

Fretteth against God, or is enraged against his Messengers who bring the threatning, or disquieteth himself in vain. Or transgresseth, as this Verb in its simple form and first conjugation commonly signifies, or, goeth on in sin constantly and resolutely, according to the Emphasis which this conjugation commonly adds to the simple Verb. And this is most fitly opposed to departing from evil, as being confident is opposed to fearing.

Secure and insensible of his danger till God's judgments overtake him.
