Proverbs 27:4

All About Life

³
Stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
But a fool’s [unreasonable] wrath is heavier and more burdensome than both of them.
⁴ 
Wrath is cruel and anger is an overwhelming flood,
But who is able to endure and stand before [the sin of] jealousy?
⁵
Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction]
Than love that is hidden.
