Proverbs 26:19 BBE

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.

²¹  Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.
