“A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. heavy: Heb. heaviness”
Proverbs 27:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 27:3
A stone and sand are heavy, but 'a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.' The Hebrew 'kobed' (heavy/weighty) describes burden. A fool's anger creates disproportionate problems exceeding physical weights. Foolish wrath is unreasonable, prolonged, and destructive. Reformed theology recognizes anger's danger—'the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God' (James 1:20). While righteous indignation exists, the fool's rage is sinful, crushing relationships and peace. Wisdom requires controlling anger; folly lets it control you.
