  • The object “anger of man” is interpreted here as a negative expression that embodies the preceding three objects: “quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.” Although a direct correlation cannot be presumed for negative and positive expressions of meaning, the interpretation does little violence to the verse and, for the purposes of this investigation, heightens the clarity of its significance. Dibelius supports this assertion when he suggests 1:20 “to be an appendix” and “quick to hear (ταχùς εἰς τò ἀκoûσαι)” as the “primary interest of the author here” (Dibelius & Greeven, 1975, p. 108).
