Life and ConductA man of great anger This phrase refers to an individual who is characterized by intense and frequent outbursts of anger. The Hebrew word for "anger" here is "chemah," which conveys a sense of heat or fury. Historically, anger is seen as a destructive force, both personally and communally. In the biblical context, anger is often associated with folly and a lack of self-control, which are contrary to the wisdom and peace that God desires for His people. The phrase warns against the dangers of unchecked anger, which can lead to repeated negative consequences. must pay the penalty if you rescue him you will have to do so again Persons / Places / Events 1. A Man of Great AngerThis refers to an individual who frequently loses their temper and acts impulsively due to their anger. The Hebrew word for "anger" here is (chemah), which can also mean wrath or fury, indicating a deep-seated and potentially destructive emotion. 2. The Rescuer This is the person who attempts to intervene or save the angry individual from the consequences of their actions. The verse warns that such intervention may be futile if the root cause of the anger is not addressed. 3. The Penalty This represents the natural consequences or punishment that results from uncontrolled anger. It implies a form of justice or correction that the angry person must face. Teaching Points The Consequences of AngerUncontrolled anger leads to repeated negative outcomes. It is crucial to recognize and address the root causes of anger to prevent ongoing consequences. The Futility of Enabling Constantly rescuing someone from the consequences of their anger without addressing the underlying issue is ineffective. True help involves guiding them towards self-control and repentance. The Importance of Self-Control Developing self-control is essential for overcoming anger. This involves seeking God's help through prayer, scripture, and possibly counseling to manage emotions effectively. The Role of Accountability Surrounding oneself with wise and godly counsel can help in managing anger. Accountability partners can provide support and guidance in moments of weakness. The Call to Forgiveness and Reconciliation While anger must be addressed, believers are also called to forgive and seek reconciliation, reflecting Christ's love and grace in their relationships.(19) For if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.--As St. Paul says (Galatians 6:5), "Every man shall bear his own burden." We cannot shield wrong-headed people from the consequences of their want of self-control, however much we may pity them for the suffering they have brought on themselves.Verse 19. - Some connect this verse with the preceding, as though it signified, "If you are too severe in chastising your son, you will suffer for it." But there is no connecting particle in the Hebrew, and the statement seems to be of a general nature. A man of great wrath; literally, rough in anger; Vulgate, impatiens; Septuagint, κακόφρων ἀνήρ. Such a one shall suffer punishment; shall bear the penalty which his want of self-control brings upon him. For if thou deliver him, yet must thou do it again. You cannot save him from the consequences of his intemperance; you may do so once and again, but while his disposition is unchanged, all your efforts will be useless, and the help which you have given him will only make him think that he may continue to indulge his anger with impunity, or, it may be, he will vent his impatience on his deliverer. Βλάπτει τὸν ἄνδρα θυμὸς εἰς ὀργὴν πεσών Anger, says an adage, "is like a ruin, which breaks itself upon what it falls." Septuagint, "If he destroy (ἐὰν δὲ λοιμεύηται), he shall add even his life;" if by his anger he inflict loss or damage on his neighbour, he shall pay for it in his own person; Vulgate, Et cum rapuerit, aliud apponet. Another interpretation of the passage, but not so suitable, is this: "If thou seek to save the sufferer (e.g. by soothing the angry man), thou wilt only the more excite him (the wrathful): therefore do not intermeddle in quarrels of other persons."
