Commentary for Proverbs 19:11

שֵׂ֣כֶל אָ֭דָם הֶאֱרִ֣יךְ אַפּ֑וֹ וְ֝תִפאַרְתּ֗וֹ עֲבֹ֣ר עַל־פָּֽשַׁע׃

It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

Rashi on Proverbs

It is good sense for a man to be slow to anger Heb. האריך, like להאריך, to be slow. If he did so, it is good sense for him.
