Proverbs19:19
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him , yet thou must do it again .
Or, He who is of great wrath, of strong passions. Which may be understood either 1. More particularly, of a Son of such a temper, who is very impatient of correction, and breaks forth into violent passions upon that occasion; and then the following words contain the Parents duty, which is to take care to punish him, because if he spare him that time for his passion, he must do so again and again, the same cause returning upon him, and so must wholly forbear to chasten him. Or 2. More generally, of any man of a fierce and furious temper and carriage, and then the next words declare only the event, by his great and repeated provocations he will bring punishment upon himself either from God or Men.
If either a Parent, or another person provoked by him, forbear to punish him. He turneth his speech to the party, as is usual in Scripture, and in other Authors.
Heb. thou must add, to wit, to deliver him again and again, as oft as he shall offend: or, thou wilt add or encrease, to wit, his wrath, which thou shouldst subdue.
Marginal references: Heb. add.
