17As he that lays hold of a dog's tail, so is he that makes himself the champion of another's cause.
18As those who need correction put forth fair words to men, and he that first falls in with the proposal will be overthrown;
19so are all that lay wait for their own friends, and when they are discovered, say, I did it in jest.
20With much wood fire increases; but where there is not a double-minded man, strife ceases.
21A hearth for coals, and wood for fire; and a railing man for the tumult of strife.
22The words of cunning knaves are soft; but they smite even to the inmost parts of the bowels.
23Silver dishonestly given is to be considered as a potsherd: smooth lips cover a grievous heart.
24A weeping enemy promises all things with his lips, but in his heart he contrives deceit.
