Proverbs 26:19 WEB

¹⁷  Like one who grabs a dog's ears Is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

¹⁸  Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,

¹⁹  Is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, 'Am I not joking?'

²⁰  For lack of wood a fire goes out; Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

²¹  As coals are to hot embers, And wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindling strife.
