Ecclesiastes 7:9

"Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger resides in the bosom of fools."eager in your heart" -quick to be angry. The idea is that of hastening, in. hurry to be angry. When our attitude isn't right many of us are simply looking for an excuse to get angry, like someone who is just itching for. fight.

Points To Note:

1 Consider the close connection between pride and anger. Humility and patience is. great check against selfish and sinful anger. This should make us seriously reevaluate our own anger. Often what triggers an angry response isn't righteous indignation, rather it is when our pride has been seriously humbled or put in its place. 2. The fool is. person who cherishes and nourishes such anger. "A quick temper in company with frustration is the earmark of the fool. Another mark of the fool is to welcome, harbor and entertain anger" (Kidwell p. 164). James 1:19; Proverbs 25:28.
