Commentary on Proverbs 27:3

Theological / Devotional

A stone is heavy. The verse reads literally, “heaviness of stone, weight of sand, the vexation of a fool is heavier than both.” The dead weight of the stone and the smothering weight of the sand are emphasized to prepare the mind to appreciate the dragging weight of the bad temper and unreasonable attacks of headstrong fools.
