Proverbs 26:18

16 The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.

17 Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.

Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows,

19 so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”

20 Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, a conflict ceases.
