“Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?”
Proverbs 27:4 (BSB)
Context Reading
2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth — a stranger, and not your own lips. 3A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both. 4Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy? 5Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed. 6The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
