Anger often leads to conflict and division, disrupting peace and unity within communities. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, maintaining harmony was crucial for the survival and prosperity of the community. The Hebrew word for "dissension" can also imply strife or contention, suggesting that anger not only causes immediate conflict but can also have long-lasting effects. This idea is echoed in <a href="/james/1-19.htm">James 1:19-20</a>, which advises believers to be "slow to anger" because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. The biblical narrative often contrasts the peaceable nature of wisdom with the chaos brought by anger, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/15-18.htm">Proverbs 15:18</a>, which states, "A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel."<p><b>and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression</b><br>This phrase underscores the link between uncontrolled temper and sin. A hot-tempered individual is prone to making rash decisions, often leading to moral and ethical failures. The term "abounds" suggests that transgressions are not isolated incidents but a pattern of behavior. In the historical context, the Law of Moses emphasized self-control and the importance of upholding God's commandments, which a hot-tempered person frequently violates. The New Testament reinforces this concept in <a href="/galatians/5-19.htm">Galatians 5:19-21</a>, where fits of rage are listed among the acts of the flesh that are contrary to the Spirit. Theologically, this phrase serves as a warning that unchecked anger can lead one away from God's path, highlighting the need for repentance and transformation through Christ, who exemplifies perfect self-control and peace.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>Traditionally considered the author of Proverbs, Solomon was the son of King David and known for his wisdom.
