17.He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

18.As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

19.So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

20.Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

21.As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

22.The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

23.Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

24.He that dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

25.When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

26.Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

27.Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

28.A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
