Proverbs 25:18-20
New King James Version
18 (A)A man who bears false witness against his neighbor
Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
20 Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
And like vinegar on soda,
Is one who (B)sings songs to a heavy heart.
Proverbs 25:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 Like a club, a (A)sword, and a sharp (B)arrow
Is a person who gives (C)false testimony against his neighbor.
19 Like a bad tooth and [a]an unsteady foot
Is confidence in a (D)treacherous person in time of trouble.
20 Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on [b]soda,
Is one who sings songs to [c]a troubled heart.
