Ecclesiastes 7:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Be not angry with any man without due consideration, and just and necessary cause; for otherwise anger is sometimes lawful, and sometimes a duty. Resteth; hath its settled and quiet abode, is their constant companion, ever at hand upon all occasions, whereas wise men resist, and mortify, and banish it. In the bosom; in the heart, the proper seat of the passions.

Ecclesiastes 7:9

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
