Proverbs 27:3

Proverbs 27:3

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

A fool's anger is not just unpleasant — it is oppressive and crushing to those around them. Unlike the manageable weight of stone or sand, the rage of a fool has no reason, no limit, and no relief. It is disproportionate and destructive. This is a warning against both being a fool in anger and being too close to one.

Memory phrase: Foolish anger crushes others.

Talk about it: How does a foolish person's anger feel to people around them?

Prayer: God, help me control my anger wisely.
