Proverbs 26:17-22

Avoiding Strife and Gossip

Proverbs 26:17-22
17
Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18
Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows,
19
so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
20
Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, a conflict ceases.
21
Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
