Daniel 2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. "Anger," Dr. Cox observes, "is (1) undignifying; (2) unreasonable; (3) destructive of that just and useful influence to which we should aspire, and for which everyone is naturally capacitated by his position in society; (4) usually makes a rapid progress; (5) is productive of great unhappiness; (6) is a most guilty passion."It is remarked by Robert Hall: "Vindictive passions surround the soul with a sort of turbulent atmosphere, than which nothing can be conceived more opposite to the calm and holy light in which the blessed Spirit loves to dwell."
