Proverbs 26:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ Like a man who seizes a wild dog by the ears,
    so is anyone who walks by and meddles in someone else’s argument.
¹⁸ Like a madman who hurls flaming spears and shoots deadly arrows,
¹⁹ So is anyone who deceives a neighbor
    and then says, “But I was only joking with you.”
