Proverbs 26:16-19

Living Bible

¹⁶ Yet in his own opinion he is smarter than seven wise men.

¹⁷ Yanking a dog’s ears is no more foolish than interfering in an argument that isn’t any of your business.

^18-19 A man who is caught lying to his neighbor and says, “I was just fooling,” is like a madman throwing around firebrands, arrows, and death!
