Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect he’erikh {הֶאֱרִ֣יךְ | hē·ʾĕ·rîḵ} ‘prolongs’ takes appo {אַפּ֑וֹ | ’ă·ppô} ‘his anger’ as its direct object, yielding an idiomatic expression for patient restraint.
In context — Proverbs 19:11
The discretion of a man prolongs his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression .
