Proverbs14:17
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly , and a man of wicked devices is hated .
His passion hurries him into many rash and foolish speeches and actions.
One who suppresseth his passion, but designeth and meditateth revenge, watching for the fittest methods and opportunities of executing it.
Both by God and men, as being most deeply malicious and like the Devil, and most dangerous and pernicious to humane Society, whereas men that are soon angry give a Man warning and are quickly pacified, and therefore pitied and pardoned.
