SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:11
¶ El entendimiento del hombre detiene su furor; y su honra es disimular la ofensa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:11
Verse 11. It is his glory to pass over a transgression. ] "No," says what is termed a man of honour; "he must meet me as a gentleman; I must have his blood, let God say what he will." O poor, dastardly coward! thou canst not bear the reproach of poor, flimsy, paltry fellows who ridicule thee, because thou hast refused to commit murder. Such laws should be put down by law; and the man that gives a challenge should be hanged, because he intends to commit murder.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. The discretion of a man deferreth his anger , etc.] That he does not show it immediately; but takes time to consider of the offence given him, and makes use of a proper time to resent what is fit should be resented; he is a wise and discreet man that is slow to anger, ( Proverbs 14:29 16:32). He is most like to God, who is “longsuffering, abundant in goodness and truth”, ( Exodus 34:6); and it is to the honour of his “name” that he “defers [his] anger”, and “refrains from” cutting off those that offend him, ( Isaiah 48:9); and [it is] his glory to pass over a transgression ; to forgive an offence committed; it is the duty and interest of a man to do so, and it is to his honour; as the contrary greatly reflects dishonour on him, and tends to his disgrace and reproach, if not to his ruin; see ( Matthew 18:32-35).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11 - He attains the most true glory who endeavours most steadily to overcom evil with good.
