Luke 2:10-19 STRONG

And G2532 the angel G32 said G2036 unto them, G846 Fear G5399 not: G3361 for, G1063 behold, G2400 I bring G2097 you G5213 good tidings G2097 of great G3173 joy, G5479 which G3748 shall be G2071 to all G3956 people.

G444 And G2532 it came to pass, G1096 as G5613 the angels G32 were gone away G565 from G575 them G846 into G1519 heaven, G3772 G2532 the shepherds G444 G4166 said G2036 one G240 to G4314 another, G240 Let us G1330 now G1211 go G1330 even unto G2193 Bethlehem, G965 and G2532 see G1492 this G5124 thing G4487 which is come to pass, G1096 which G3739 G3588 the Lord G2962 hath made known G1107 unto us.

Verses 1-6

We take these verses together as forming a group which begins with a proverb regarding the good and evil which flows from the tongue, and closes with a proverb regarding the treasure in which blessing is found, and that in which no blessing is found.

Proverbs 15:1

1 A soft answer turneth away wrath,

And a bitter word stirreth up anger.

In the second line, the common word for anger ( אף , from the breathing with the nostrils, Proverbs 14:17) is purposely placed, but in the first, that which denotes anger in the highest degree ( חמה from יחם , cogn. חמם , Arab. hamiya , to glow, like שׁנה from ישׁן ): a mild, gentle word turns away the heat of anger ( excandescentiam ), puts it back, cf. Proverbs 25:15. The Dagesh in רּך follows the rule of the דחיק , i.e. , of the close connection of a word terminating with the accented eh, aah, ah with the following word ( Michlol 63b). The same is the meaning of the Latin proverb:

Frangitur ira gravis

Quando est responsio suavis
