Contextual Overview

7 The wyse man hateth wrong dealing, and abhorreth the heart that coueteth rewardes. 8 Better is it to consider the ende of a thing then the beginning: The pacient of spirite, is better then the hye minded. 9 Be not hastyly angrie in thy minde: for wrath resteth in the bosome of fooles. 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the dayes of the old time were better then they that be nowe? for that were no wyse question.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry,.... With men, for every word that is said, or action done, that is not agreeable; encourage not, but repress, sudden angry emotions of the mind; be not quick of resentment, and at once express anger and displeasure; but be slow to wrath, for such a man is better than the mighty, James 1:19

Proverbs 16:32; or with God, for his corrections and chastisements; so the Targum,

"in the time that correction from heaven comes upon thee, do not hasten in thy soul to be hot (or angry) to say words of rebellion (or stubbornness) against heaven;''

that advice is good,

"do nothing in anger l;''

for anger resteth in the bosom of fools; where it riseth quick, and continues long; here it soon betrays itself, and finds easy admittance, and a resting dwelling place; it easily gets in, but it is difficult to get it out of the heart of a fool; both which are proofs of his folly,

Proverbs 12:16; see Ephesians 4:26; the bosom, or breast, is commonly represented as the seat of anger by other writers m.

l Isocrates ad Nicoclem, p. 36. m "In pectoribus ira considit", Petronius; "iram sanguinei regio sub pectore cordis", Claudian. de 4. Consul. Honor. Panegyr. v. 241.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ecclesiastes 7:9. Anger resteth in the bosom of fools. — A wise man, off his guard, may feel it for a moment: but in him it cannot rest: it is a fire which he immediately casts out of his breast. But the fool - the man who is under the dominion of his own tempers, harbours and fosters it, till it takes the form of malice, and then excites him to seek full revenge on those whom he deems enemies. Hence that class of dangerous and empty fools called duellists.
