SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:29
¶ El que tarde se aíra, es grande de entendimiento; mas el corto de espíritu engrandece la locura.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 14:29
Verse 29. That is hasty of spirit ] jwr rxq ketsar ruach, "the short of spirit;" one that is easily irritated; and, being in a passion, he is agitated so as to be literally short of breath. Here put in opposition to µypa ûra erech appayim, long of nostrils; see on ver. 17; and of the same import with St. Paul's makroyumia, longsuffering, longmindedness. See on Eph. iv. 2.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. [He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding , etc.] Or “long in wrath” f415 ; it is long before he is angry; he is longsuffering, bears much and long, is very patient; such an one appears to understand himself and human nature, and has a great command over his passions; which shows him to be a man of great wisdom and understanding; but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly ; or is “short of spirit” f416 ; is soon angry; presently discovers resentment in his words, looks, and gestures; such an one “exalts folly”, prefers it to wisdom, sets it above himself, and makes it his master: or he “lifts” it up; exposes his folly to public view, so that it is seen of all men to his disgrace.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29 - A mild, patient man is one that learns of Christ, who is Wisdom itself Unbridled passion is folly made known.
