OET (OET-LV) Be_being_angered, and_yet not be_sinning, the sun not let_be_set_down on the_anger of_you_all,

/be_being/_angered and_yet not /be/_sinning
Alternate translation: “You may get angry, but do not sin” or “If you become angry, do not sin”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ ἥλιος μὴ ἐπιδυέτω ἐπὶ παροργισμῷ ὑμῶν
the sun not /let_be/_set_down on /the/_anger ˱of˲_you_all
The sun going down represents nightfall or the end of the day. Alternate translation: “You must stop being angry before night comes” or “Let go of your anger before the day ends”
4:26-27 “don’t sin by letting anger control you” (literally “be angry and do not sin”): This verse quotes Ps 4:4. The literal form of the quotation cannot be used to justify anger, for anger gives a foothold to the devil (cp. Jas 1:20). God’s people are to be gentle and gracious, not harsh or angry (see Eph 4:31-32).
• Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry: Anger must quickly be resolved, not allowed to stew.
