Proverbs 26:18 BBE

¹⁶  The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense.

¹⁷  He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.

¹⁸  As one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death,

¹⁹  So is the man who gets the better of his neighbour by deceit, and says, Am I not doing so in sport?

²⁰  Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended.
