Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 22:25

25 Lest thou learn his ways , and get a snare to thy soul.

Lest thou be instructed or provoked by his passion to return the like to him.

Either 1. A mischief, which is oft the effect of unbridled rage. Or 2. An occasion of sin, either by drawing thee to an imitation or requital of his rage; or by tempting thee to unfaithfulness in performing the great office of a Friend, to wit, Admonition or reproof, which, by reason of his furious temper, thou either canst not, or wiltst not do.
