Proverbs 27:3

World English Bible

³A stone is heavy,
and sand is a burden;
but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

Proverbs 27:3

Common English Bible

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

²²Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.

²²Even if you grind fools in a mortar,
even grinding them along with the grain,
their folly won’t be driven from them.
