Celui qui est lent la colre, est de grande intelligence; mais celui qui est prompt se courroucer, excite la folie.
Celui qui est lent la colre est d'un grand sens; mais celui qui est prompt se courroucer, tale sa folie.
La lenteur la colre est grande intelligence, mais celui qui est d'un esprit impatient exalte la folie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
[He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding,.... Or "long in wrath" e; 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" f; 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 g up; exposes his folly to public view, so that it is seen of all men to his disgrace.
e ארך אפים "longus iris", Vatablus; "longus naribus", Montanus; "longus narium", Schultens. f קצר רוח "brevis spiritu", Montanus, Vatblus. Cocceius, Merceus, Michaelis; "curtus spiritu", Schultens. g מרום "attollit", Mercerus, Piscator; "alte proclamat", Schultens; "elevat", Baynus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Exalteth folly - Lifts it up, as it were, on high, and exposes it to the gaze of all men.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 14:29. That is hasty of spirit — קצר רוח 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 ארך אפים erech appayim, long of nostrils; see on Proverbs 14:17; and of the same import with St. Paul's μακροθυμια, longsuffering, longmindedness. See on Ephesians 4:2.
