A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment. So the Masoretic Qeri' reads х gªdaal (H1419), great], instead of the Hebrew text, Kethibh gaarol (H1632), a softened form of gaarar, to roll, to rush], 'A man hasty in wrath.' Maurer prefers the latter. The very difficulty of the reading makes it less likely to originate from transcribers. But Maurer's explanation is doubtful.
For if thou deliver (him), yet thou must do it again - as he is sure to relapse into his outbreaks of wrath.
