Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 27:4

"Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?" — Proverbs 27:4 (ASV)

But who is able to stand before envy?— Rather, jealousy. (Compare to Proverbs 6:34.) “Wrath” and “anger” rage for a while like a storm, and then subside; but jealousy can never be completely set at rest.
