Proverbs 22:24,25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Make no friendship with an angry man “As there is nothing more necessary than a friend, so a principal point of wisdom consists in the choice of him; concerning which, observe this rule among others, not to enter into any familiarity with a man prone to anger;” and with a furious man thou shalt not go Shalt not associate, or be intimate; lest thou learn his ways Lest thou be infected by his example, or provoked by his wrath to return the like to him; and get a snare to thy soul Some mischief, which is often the effect of unbridled rage; or an occasion of, or temptation to sin, being led either to imitate him, or to neglect performing that great and important duty of a friend, the giving faithful and seasonable admonition and reproof, which thou mayest be induced to omit because of his furious temper.
