Gill's Notes on the Bible

An angry man stirreth up strife,.... In families, neighbourhoods, communities, churches, and commonwealths; that is, one that is given to anger, and gives way to it, in whom it prevails and rules;

and a furious man aboundeth in transgression; or, "a master of wrath or fury" y; one much addicted to it: or, "the husband of wrath": wedded to it, as a man to his wife: or, as the Vulgate Latin version renders it, "who is easy to be angry"; is easily provoked, wrath rises up in him at once; this leads him on to many sins, as cursing, swearing, murder,

y בעל חמה "dominus furoris", so Vatablus, Piscator, Michaelis.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 29:22. An angry man stirreth up strife — His spirit begets its like wherever he goes.

And a furious man aboundeth in transgression. — His furious spirit is always carrying him into extremes, and each of these is a transgression.
