16 The sluggard is 1wiser in his own eyes 2than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws 3firebrands, arrows, and death
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no 4whisperer, 5quarreling ceases.
21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is 6a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22 7The words of 8a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
23 9Like the 10glazea covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;
25 11when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are 12seven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 13Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
