箴言 29:16-20 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 29:19

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? (comp. Proverbs 26:12 ); Vulgate, velocem ad loquendum; Septuagint, ταχὺν ἐν λόγοις . James 1:19 ," Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak." "A talkative ( γλωσσώδης ) man is dangerous in his city; and he that is rash ( προπετὴς ) in his words shall be hated" ( Ecclesiastes 9:18 ). We might also translate, "hasty in his matters," "hasty in business," and the gnome would be equally true (see note on Proverbs 19:2 ). ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:1-27
