¹⁸Like a maniac who shoots deadly firebrands and arrows, ¹⁹so is one who deceives a neighbor
and says, “I am only joking!”
²⁰For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
²¹As charcoal is to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
²²The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
²³Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel
are smooth lips with an evil heart.
