Proverbs 27:4

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

Wrath (is) cruel (cruelty itself), and anger (is) outrageous (overflowing, like a torrent, unexpectedly, overwhelmingly, powerfully, and dangerously, ); but who (is) able to stand before envy? - or jealousy (). So the Chaldaic. The angry man avows his anger; the envious or jealous craftily hides it until he gets his opportunity. The angry may possibly be appeased in course of time; the envious or jealous becomes only more exasperated. Envy or jealousy penetrates more deeply, creeps slowly, and cannot be eradicated (Gejer).
