Geneva Bible Notes Reformed
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. (f) By which he means the wicked in his rage, who has no fear of God.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed
They are less rational in anger than wild beasts.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Note, 1. A passionate man is a brutish man. However at other times he may have some wisdom, take him in his passion ungoverned, and he is a fool in his folly; those are fools in whose bosom anger rests and in whose countenance anger rages.
