and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression
This phrase underscores the link between uncontrolled temper and sin. A hot-tempered individual is prone to making rash decisions, often leading to moral and ethical failures. The term "abounds" suggests that transgressions are not isolated incidents but a pattern of behavior. In the historical context, the Law of Moses emphasized self-control and the importance of upholding God's commandments, which a hot-tempered person frequently violates. The New Testament reinforces this concept inGalatians 5:19-21, where fits of rage are listed among the acts of the flesh that are contrary to the Spirit. Theologically, this phrase serves as a warning that unchecked anger can lead one away from God's path, highlighting the need for repentance and transformation through Christ, who exemplifies perfect self-control and peace.

“An angry man stirs up dissension” (Proverbs 29:22a).

• Scripture presents anger as combustible; left unchecked, it ignites conflict (Proverbs 15:18; 26:21).

• The verb “stirs up” pictures someone actively churning the waters, not a passive bystander. Anger pushes words and actions that fracture friendships, homes, and churches (James 3:14-16).

• God’s Word urges swift response: “A gentle answer turns away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1) and “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger” (James 1:19).

• Anger is not always sinful (Ephesians 4:26), but when it is self-focused, it resists the peace Christ calls us to pursue (Romans 12:18;Colossians 3:15).

“and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression” (Proverbs 29:22b).

• “Hot-tempered” widens the lens: a short fuse becomes a lifestyle. This person doesn’t merely cause quarrels; he “abounds” in wrongdoing (Proverbs 14:17; 19:19).

• Anger opens the door to many sins—harsh speech, violence, envy, even murder (Genesis 4:5-8;Galatians 5:19-21). The heat of temper boils over into broad rebellion against God.

• Repetition of offenses hardens the heart, drawing heavier consequences: “Mockers resent correction” (Proverbs 9:7-8) and “Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity” (Proverbs 22:8).

• The remedy is repentance and Spirit-empowered self-control: “Let all bitterness and rage be removed from you” (Ephesians 4:31-32); “The fruit of the Spirit is…self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23).

Proverbs 29:22 warns that unchecked anger first foments division, then multiplies sin. God’s design is peace and righteousness; anger unsubmitted to Him tears both apart. By confessing sinful temper, embracing Christ’s forgiveness, and yielding to the Spirit’s control, we trade the turmoil of dissension for the calm of godly wisdom.

Ὀργὴ δὲ πολλὰ δρᾶ῀ιν ἀναγκάζει κακά And again -

Πόλλ ἔστιν ὀργῆς ἐξ ἀπαιδεύτου κακά

"Unchastened anger leads to many ills." Septuagint, "A passionate man diggeth up sin" - a forcible expression, which is not unusual in reference to quarrels.
