S – A fool gives full vent to his anger,, but a wise person holds it in check.
Proverbs 29:11 CSB
O – Commentary:
A fool (kesîl; see comments on 1:7) readily gives in to anger (cf. 15:1; 29:8, 22), but a wise person maintains self-control (cf. 14:29; 16:32). Keeps himself under control is literally, “calms it back” like stilling a storm. The verb is used only here and in Psalms 65:7; 89:9 where it refers to calming the sea’s waves
“Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – Anger is healthy until it is unhealthy. We need to express our displeasure or disagreement with things. That is part of being a unique individual. When we disagree with someone in a healthy way, it can bring more unity than distance. When it goes into unhealthy, trust and relationships are broken. Unity cannot be achieved because the distance is too great.
R—Heavenly Father, we love you today. Thank you for making us all unique individuals. Help us have healthy interactions with each other that bring unity and not distance. In our differences, let us come together as one.
