In context
15 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason.
17 He that passeth by and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto him, is as one that taketh a dog by the eares.
18 As he that faineth himselfe mad, casteth fire brands, arrowes, and mortall things,
19 So dealeth the deceitfull man with his friend and sayth, Am not I in sport?
20 Without wood the fire is quenched, and without a talebearer strife ceaseth.
21 As ye cole maketh burning coles, and wood a fire, so the contentious man is apt to kindle strife.
