Bible Comments

A fool's wrath is presently known By his rash words and indecent actions, whereby he exposes himself to shame; but a prudent man covereth shame Either, 1st, The shame, reproach, or injury, done to him by others, which he conceals, and bears with patience: or, 2d, His own shame, to which the folly of rash anger would have exposed him.
