Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 27:4

4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outragious, but who is able to stand before envy ?

Envy is worse than both of them, partly because it is more unjust and unreasonable, as not caused by any provocation, as wrath and anger are, but only proceeding from a malignity of mind, whereby a man is grieved for another mans happiness, in which he should rejoice; partly because it is more deeply rooted and implacable, whereas the other passions are commonly allayed, and partly because it is more secret and undiscernable, and therefore the mischievous effects of it are hardly avoidable, whereas wrath and anger discover themselves, and so forewarn and forearm a man against the danger.
