Commentary on Ecclesiastes 7:9

Theological / Devotional

Hasty. Or, “disquieted,” “dismayed,” “disturbed.” One’s emotions are to be held in control (see James 1:19).

Anger. See Eph. 4:26, 31; Titus 1:7.

Restetli. Words and actions that result from anger often inflict great damage, are extremely hard to forget, and are often held against the perpetrator of them for many years (see Prov. 14:33).
