Pro 29:22 | NETfull | STEP | An angry person stirs up dissension, and a wrathful person is abounding in transgression.

Proverbs 29:22

22 An angry person ^{▼▼ Heb “a man of anger.” Here “anger” is an attributive (“an angry man”). This expression describes one given to or characterized by anger, not merely temporarily angry. The same is true of the next description.} stirs up dissension,
and a wrathful person ^{▼▼ Heb “possessor of wrath.” Here “wrath” is an attributive (cf. ASV “a wrathful man”; KJV “a furious man”).} is abounding in transgression. ^{▼▼ Heb “an abundance of transgression.” The phrase means “abounding in transgression” (BDB 913 s.v. רַב 1.d]). Not only does the angry person stir up dissension, but he also frequently causes sin in himself and in others (e.g., 14:17, 29; 15:18; 16:32; 22:24).}
