Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
The following group begins with a proverb which rhymes by מדון, with מנון of the foregoing, and extends on to the end of this Hezekiah collection: 22 A man of anger stirreth up strife; And a passionate man aboundeth in transgression. Line first is a variation of Pro 15:18 and Pro 28:25. אישׁ and בּעל as here, but in the reverse order at Pro 22:24. (Note: For אישׁ־אף (Lwenstein after Norzi) is to be written, with Baer (Thorath Emeth, p. 19), אישׁ אף ,)91. Thus also in Cod. Jaman.) אף here means anger, not the nose, viz., the expanded nostrils (Schultens). In רב־פּשׁע the פשׁע is, after Pro 14:29; Pro 28:16; Pro 20:27, the governed genitive; Hitzig construes it in the sense of פשׁע רב, Psa 19:2, with יגרה, but one does not say גּרה פשׁע; and that which is true of רבּים, that, after the manner of a numeral, it can precede its substantive (vid., under Ps. 7:26; Psa 89:51), cannot be said of רב. Much (great) in wickedness denotes one who heaps up many wicked actions, and burdens himself with greater guilt (cf. פשׁע, Pro 29:16). The wrathful man stirreth up (vid., under Pro 15:18) strife, for he breaks through the mutual relations of men, which rest on mutual esteem and love, and by means of his passionate conduct he makes enemies of those against whom he thinks that he has reason for being angry; that on account of which he is angry can be settled without producing such hostility, but passion impels him on, and misrepresents the matter; it embitters hearts, and tears them asunder. The lxx has, instead of רב, ἐξώρυξεν, of dreaming, כרה (Pro 16:27).

(Compare Pro 15:18). Such are delighted by discord and violence.
John Gill Bible Commentary
An angry man stirreth up strife,.... In families, neighbourhoods, communities, churches, and commonwealths; that is, one that is given to anger, and gives way to it, in whom it prevails and rules; and a furious man aboundeth in transgression; or, "a master of wrath or fury" (y); one much addicted to it: or, "the husband of wrath": wedded to it, as a man to his wife: or, as the Vulgate Latin version renders it, "who is easy to be angry"; is easily provoked, wrath rises up in him at once; this leads him on to many sins, as cursing, swearing, murder, (y) "dominus furoris", so Vatablus, Piscator, Michaelis.
Matthew Henry Bible Commentary
See here the mischief that flows from an angry, passionate, furious disposition. 1. It makes men provoking to one another: An angry man stirs up strife, is troublesome and quarrelsome in the family and in the neighbourhood, blows the coals, and even forces those to fall out with him that would live peaceable and quietly by him. 2. It makes men provoking to God: A furious man, who is wedded to his humours and passions, cannot but abound in transgressions. Undue anger is a sin which is the cause of many sins; it not only hinders men from calling upon God's name, but it occasions their swearing, and cursing, and profaning God's name.
Proverbs 29:22
The Flourishing of the Righteous
21A servant pampered from his youth will bring grief in the end. 22An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

On the Nature of God
By James Arminius0PRO 14:29PRO 19:11PRO 22:24PRO 29:22EPH 4:29JAS 1:19Steven Cole preaches on the importance of an overseer not being quick-tempered, emphasizing the need for self-control and patience, as quick-tempered individuals are easily provoked and lack the ability to govern their passions. The overseer should exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, showing kindness, patience, and self-control, rather than being irritable or touchy. Paul and James both highlight the significance of not being easily provoked and the righteousness that comes from controlling one's anger, which is essential for effective leadership in the church.
A Sign of What's Inside
By Henry Drummond0PRO 29:22GAL 5:19EPH 4:31COL 3:8JAS 1:20Henry Drummond emphasizes the destructive nature of human wrath, explaining how it does not align with the righteousness of God. He delves into the deeper implications of temper, highlighting how it can reveal underlying issues such as jealousy, anger, pride, and other sinful traits that lurk within individuals. Drummond likens temper to a warning sign of a deeper spiritual disease, a manifestation of hidden sins that need to be addressed and surrendered to God.
Fight the Good Fight of Faith
By A.B. Simpson0PRO 12:11PRO 14:29PRO 15:1PRO 18:21PRO 29:22MAT 5:22ROM 5:6EPH 4:26COL 3:8JAS 1:20The sermon delves into the significance of the term 'RACA' in biblical times, portraying it as a word of utter contempt and dehumanizing contempt used by the Jews during the time of Christ. The preacher explores various interpretations and historical contexts of 'RACA,' emphasizing how it reflects a deep-seated anger and contempt that seeks to strip individuals of their dignity and worth. Through a multitude of sources and biblical references, the sermon highlights how 'RACA' equates to more than just an insult, but a sin that can lead to severe judgment, akin to murder in God's eyes, as it attacks a person's self-worth and dignity.
