| (Compare Pro 14:29; Pro 16:32). This inculcation of a forgiving spirit shows that true religion is always the same (Mat 5:22-24). |

11 The discretion of a man maketh him long-suffering,
And it is a glory for him to be forbearing toward transgression.
The Syr., Targum, Aquila, and Theodotion translate האריך אפו by μακροθυμία, and thus read האריך; but Rashi, Kimchi, and others remark that האריך is here only another vocalization for האריך, which is impossible. The Venet. also translates: Νοῦς ἀνθρώπου μηκυνεῖ τὸν θυμὸν ἑαυτοῦ; the correct word would be αὐτοῦ: the discretion (intellectus or intelligentia; vid., regarding שׂכל, Pro 3:4) of a man extends his anger, i.e., brings it about that it continues long before it breaks out (vid., Pro 14:29). One does not stumble at the perf. in view of Pro 19:7, Pro 18:8; Pro 16:26, and the like; in the proverbial style the fut. or the particip. is more common. In the synonymous parallel member, תפארתּו points to man as such: it is an honour to him to pass by a transgression (particularly that which affects himself), to let it go aside, i.e., to forbear revenge or punishment (cf. Arab. tjâwz 'aly); thus also the divine πάρεσις (Rom 3:25) is designated by Mic 7:18; and in Amo 7:8; Amo 8:2, עבד stands absol. for the divine remission or passing by, i.e., unavenging of sin. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| It is his glory to pass over a transgression - "No," says what is termed a man of honor; "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. |
22 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3956] is angry [3710] with his [846] brother [80] without a cause [1500] shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of the judgment [2920]: and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036] to his [846] brother [80], Raca [4469], shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of the council [4892]: but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036], Thou fool [3474], shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442].
23 Therefore [3767] if [1437] thou bring [4374] thy [4675] gift [1435] to [1909] the altar [2379], and there [2546] rememberest [3415] that [3754] thy [4675] brother [80] hath [2192] ought [5100] against [2596] thee [4675];
24 Leave [863] there [1563] thy [4675] gift [1435] before [1715] the altar [2379], and [2532] go thy way [5217]; first [4412] be reconciled [1259] to thy [4675] brother [80], and [2532] then [5119] come [2064] and offer [4374] thy [4675] gift [1435].
32 He that is slow [0750] to anger [0639] is better [02896] than the mighty [01368]; and he that ruleth [04910] his spirit [07307] than he that taketh [03920] a city [05892].
29 He that is slow [0750] to wrath [0639] is of great [07227] understanding [08394]: but he that is hasty [07116] of spirit [07307] exalteth [07311] folly [0200].
2 And he said [0559], Amos [05986], what seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], A basket [03619] of summer fruit [07019]. Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, The end [07093] is come [0935] upon my people [05971] of Israel [03478]; I will not again [03254] pass [05674] by them any more.
8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Amos [05986], what seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], A plumbline [0594]. Then said [0559] the Lord [0136], Behold, I will set [07760] a plumbline [0594] in the midst [07130] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]: I will not again [03254] pass by [05674] them any more:
18 Who is a God [0410] like unto thee, that pardoneth [05375] iniquity [05771], and passeth by [05674] the transgression [06588] of the remnant [07611] of his heritage [05159]? he retaineth [02388] not his anger [0639] for ever [05703], because he delighteth [02654] in mercy [02617].
25 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath set forth [4388] to be a propitiation [2435] through [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] his [846] blood [129], to [1519] declare [1732] his [846] righteousness [1343] for [1223] the remission [3929] of sins [265] that are past [4266], through [1722] the forbearance [463] of God [2316];
26 He [05315] that laboureth [06001] laboureth [05998] for himself; for his mouth [06310] craveth [0404] it of him.
8 The words [01697] of a talebearer [05372] are as wounds [03859], and they go down [03381] into the innermost parts [02315] of the belly [0990].
7 All the brethren [0251] of the poor [07326] do hate [08130] him: how much more do his friends [04828] go far [07368] from him? he pursueth [07291] them with words [0561], yet they are wanting to him.
29 He that is slow [0750] to wrath [0639] is of great [07227] understanding [08394]: but he that is hasty [07116] of spirit [07307] exalteth [07311] folly [0200].
4 So shalt thou find [04672] favour [02580] and good [02896] understanding [07922] in the sight [05869] of God [0430] and man [0120].
