Many there are that suffer the sun not only to go down upon their anger, but to run his whole race— yes, many races—ere they can be reconciled, whereby their anger becomes inveterate and turns into malice, for anger and malice differ but in age.

Thou a Christian and carry hellfire about thee! How can it be? When we see a child furious and revengeful who comes of merciful parents, we…say we wonder of whom he got his currish, churlish disposition; his father and mother were not so.

Anger is a short madness; whensoever it displaces reason, it is sinful.Commentary, 1:603

For a good man has a zeal for God, and in that godly zeal he is angry at the iniquity and naughtiness of mankind.The Decades https://www.monergism.com/decades-ebook
