Proverbs 27:4
“Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?”
In context
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.
