Proverbs 27:3–4

Stone is heavy and sand a burden,

but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,

but who can stand before jealousy?

A stone is heavy, and sand a burden,

but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.

Fury is cruel, and anger a flood,

but who can withstand jealousy?

A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,

but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier.

Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood,

but jealousy is even more dangerous.

Heavy is a stone and weighty is sand,

but the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.

Cruel is wrath and overwhelming is anger,

but who will stand before jealousy?

A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty;

But a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous;

But who is able to stand before envy?
