26 A man who labours, labours for himself, and drives from him his own ruin.
27 But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.
28 A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates friends.
29 A transgressor tries to ensnare friends, and leads them in ways that are not good.
