Exegesis
The construct chain kaʿas ewil {כַעַס אֱוִיל | ka-ʿaṯ ʾĕ-wîl} ‘anger of a fool’ serves as the subject of the comparative predicate kaved mishnehem {כָּבֵד מִשְּׁנֵיהֶֽם | kā-ḇēḏ mi-šnê-hēm} ‘is heavier than both of them’. The implied copula in Hebrew is supplied in English. The explicit comparison encoded by mishnehem tightly binds the two physical burdens to the emotional weight of foolish anger, and the parallel repetition of heaviness imagery underscores the proverb’s moral warning.
In context — Proverbs 27:3
The weight of a stone and the burden of sand—yet the anger of a fool is heavier than both of them.
