Proverbs 27:4
King James VersionSource notes
“Wrath cruel, and anger outrageous; but who able to stand before envy?”
Context
1Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3A stone heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath heavier than them both.
4Wrath cruel, and anger outrageous; but who able to stand before envy?
5Open rebuke better than secret love.
6Faithful the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy deceitful.
7The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
