For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
For - so far are you from profiting by your complaints. you only destroy yourself by justifying yourself and impatiently complaining against God.
Foolish man ... silly one - imply at once the sin and folly of him who dreams he has merited nothing but good at Gods hands, and is impatient at affliction being sent upon him.
Wrath ... envy - fretful and passionate complaints, such as Eliphaz charged Job with (Job 4:5). So Proverbs 14:30 - "Envy [is] the rottenness of the bones." For "envy," translate 'fretful passion killeth the foolish.' Not, the wrath of God killeth the foolish, and His envy, etc.
