Proverbs 26:18 in context

  1. 16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
    than seven men who answer with discretion.
  2. 17Like one who grabs a dog’s ears
    is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
  3. 18Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,
  4. 19is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”
  5. 20For lack of wood a fire goes out.
    Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
