15The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; It grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason.
17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, Is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, And saith, Am not I in sport?
20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: So where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart Are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, And layeth up deceit within him;
25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: For there are seven abominations in his heart.
