Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 14:17

_ _ He ... angry — literally, “short of anger” (compare Proverbs 14:29, opposite idea).

_ _ man ... hated — that is, the deliberate evildoer is more hated than the rash.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 14:17

_ _ Note, 1. Passionate men are justly laughed at. Men who are peevish and touchy, and are soon angry upon every the least provocation, deal foolishly; they say and do that which is ridiculous, and so expose themselves to contempt; they themselves cannot but be ashamed of it when the heat is over. The consideration of this should engage those especially who are in reputation for wisdom and honour with the utmost care to bridle their passion. 2. Malicious men are justly dreaded and detested, for they are much more dangerous and mischievous to all societies: A man of wicked devices, who stifles his resentments till he has an opportunity of being revenged, and is secretly plotting how to wrong his neighbour and to do him an ill turn, as Cain to kill Abel, such a man as this is hated by all mankind. The character of an angry man is pitiable; through the surprise of a temptation he disturbs and disgraces himself, but it is soon over, and he is sorry for it. But that of a spiteful revengeful man is odious; there is no fence against him nor cure for him.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 14:17

Foolishly — His passion hurries him into foolish speeches and actions. Wicked devices — One who suppresses his passion, but meditates revenge. Hated — Both by God and men.
