Thomas Scott
Verse 11: “The understanding of a man renders him slow to anger,” &c.–Wisdom induces a man to suppress resentment, and to keep a strict guard on himself under provocations. A prudent man, even when it is necessary to reprove or expostulate with the offending party, will defer it till he can do it with temper and decency. Indeed it is most honorable to pass over a transgression unnoticed: and he attains the highest degree of true glory who overlooks or forgives the most numerous and gross affronts, and persists the most steadily in endeavoring to overcome evil with good.–Let it not be overlooked, that these proverbs exactly coincide with our Lord’s instructions and those of his apostles, though men in general think that such precepts are peculiar to the New Testament.
