Consequences and repeated rescue are the subject of Proverbs 19:19: A man of great anger will bear the penalty, for if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again (v. 19). Uncontrolled temper keeps generating the same trouble.
A man of great anger repeatedly creates circumstances that require consequence. His wrath is not a one-time stumble, but a pattern. That is why he will bear the penalty—his own temper keeps producing the setting for it.
And if someone continually rescues him without transformation, you will only have to do it again. The proverb is not against mercy. It is against enabling. Wisdom recognizes that constant rescue without repentance may simply support the continuation of the very folly that needs correction.
