Proverbs29:22

Verſ. 22. An angry man ſtirreth up ſtrife] See Chapter 15.18. and 16.21.

And a furious man] Hebr. A maſter of fury, or one that is maſtered and overmatched by his fury, that hath no command of his paſſions, but is tranſported by them, or (as ſome make the metaphor, and the Original will well bear it) is wedded to them, as a man is to his wife: commanded by them,Plutarch. as the Perſian Kings were by their Concubines, being captivarum ſuarum captivi, ſlaves to their ſlaves. Such a man being big with wrath, not onely breeds contention, but brings forth tranſgreſſion in great abundance, he ſets his mouth againſt heaven, and his tongue walketh through the earth, &c. Pſal. 73. he lets fly on both hands, and lays about him like a mad man.
