Proverbs 26:17
Compare all
15 The alazy man buries his hand in the1 bowl;
It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth. 
16 The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own
Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 Is the man who deceives his neighbor,
And says, a“I was only joking!” 
20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;
And where there is no1 talebearer, strife ceases. 
21 aAs charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife. 
22 The words of a1 talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the1 inmost body. 
23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
