SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:3

¶ Pesada es la piedra, y la arena pesa; mas la ira del loco es más pesada que ambas cosas.

---

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. A stone [is] heavy, and the sand weighty , etc.] As was the stone which was at the well’s mouth, where Laban’s flocks were watered, which could not be rolled away till all the shepherds were gathered together, ( Genesis 29:2,3,8); and like the burdensome stone Jerusalem is compared to ( Zechariah 12:3); and as that at the sepulchre of Christ, rolled away by the angel, ( Matthew 28:2). And sand is a very ponderous thing; difficult to be carried, as the Septuagint render it, as a bag of it is; and to which heavy afflictions are sometimes compared, ( Job 6:2,3); but a fool’s wrath [is] heavier than them both ; it cannot be removed, it rests in his bosom; it is sometimes intolerable to himself; he sinks and dies under the weight of it, as Nabal did: “wrath killeth the foolish man”, ( Job 5:2); and it is still more intolerable to others, as Nebuchadnezzar’s wrath and his fiery furnace were.
