Matt. 5:22:
“But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say (tongue-murder, poison under the tongue, that kills secretly and slowly;) to his brother, Raca, (impious, godless) shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.”

But when it proceeds from anger and malice within, it is the smoke of that fire which is kindled from hell, and falls under the same character. fool, is a spiteful word, and comes from hatred; looking upon him, not only as mean and not to be honored, but as vile and not to be loved, as abandoned of G-d.
