Gill's Notes on the Bible

[He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding,.... Or "long in wrath" e; it is long before he is angry; he is longsuffering, bears much and long, is very patient; such an one appears to understand himself and human nature, and has a great command over his passions; which shows him to be a man of great wisdom and understanding;

but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly; or is "short of spirit" f; is soon angry; presently discovers resentment in his words, looks, and gestures; such an one "exalts folly", prefers it to wisdom, sets it above himself, and makes it his master: or he "lifts" it g up; exposes his folly to public view, so that it is seen of all men to his disgrace.

e ארך אפים "longus iris", Vatablus; "longus naribus", Montanus; "longus narium", Schultens. f קצר רוח "brevis spiritu", Montanus, Vatblus. Cocceius, Merceus, Michaelis; "curtus spiritu", Schultens. g מרום "attollit", Mercerus, Piscator; "alte proclamat", Schultens; "elevat", Baynus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Exalteth folly - Lifts it up, as it were, on high, and exposes it to the gaze of all men.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 14:29. That is hasty of spirit — קצר רוח ketsar ruach, "the short of spirit;" one that is easily irritated; and, being in a passion, he is agitated so as to be literally short of breath. Here put in opposition to ארך אפים erech appayim, long of nostrils; see on Proverbs 14:17; and of the same import with St. Paul's μακροθυμια, longsuffering, longmindedness. See on Ephesians 4:2.
