In context
16 The sluggard [is] wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 He that passeth by, [and] meddleth with strife [belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad [man] who casteth fire-brands, arrows, and death,
19 So [is] the man [that] deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, [there] the fire goeth out: so where [there is] no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 [As] coals [are] to burning coals, and wood to fire; so [is] a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
