Lest thou learn his ways; lest thou be infected by his example, or provoked by this passion to return the like to him. A snare; either, 1. A mischief, which is oft the effect of unbridled rage. Or, 2. An occasion of sin; either by drawing thee to an imitation or requital of his rage; or by tempting thee to unfaithfulness in performing the great office of a friend, to wit, admonition or reproof, which, by reason of his furious temper, thou either canst not or wilt not do. read more

The sense is, When thou hast got them into thine heart, thou wilt be able and ready to discourse pertinently and profitably of them. read more
