Commentary on Proverbs 29:9

Theological / Devotional

Whether he rage. Grammatically this may refer to either the wise man or the fool, although it would be more natural for a fool to act thus in an argument. The LXX applies the anger and the laughter to the fool without ambiguity. One certain thing is that there will be no quiet while the argument between such unequal opponents goes on.
