But the provocation of an ignorant fool is heavier than both of them.

Proverbs 27:3

³A stone is heavy and sand weighs much,
but the nuisance of fools is heavier than both.

²²Though you ^(A)pound an ignorant fool in a mortar with a pestle in the midst of crushed grain,
His ^[a]folly will not turn aside from him.

even grinding them along with the grain,
their folly won’t be driven from them.
