Fool's wrath

Fool's wrath

(Verses 3 and 4 of Chapter 27 in Proverbs are clubbed together).

A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both(Proverbs 27:3).Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? (Proverbs 27:4)

Wrath is bad. If it is the wrath of a fool, it is worse. Wrath is different from anger. Wrath can be good because you incur wrath over some evil thing. Wrath is great anger that expresses itself in a desire to punish someone: Noah saw the flood as a sign of the wrath of God. Jesus exhibited His wrath when He saw the house of God in Jerusalem as a den of thieves. He drove away those who sold and brought in the house of God, called a house or prayer. Wrath can be cruel. However, it is justified to the extent that it is revealed for a good cause. But, wrath of a fool is not justified at any cost.

Anger is outrageous because It cannot be tolerated.

But envy is the worst. If wrath is tolerated, envy cannot be tolerated at any cost. When envy is manifested, it causes wide destruction.
