Proverbs 27:3

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

Proverbs 27:3

Modern English Version

³A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.

yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.

among wheat with a pestle,
yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
