Proverbs 26:16-28

The sluggard
<06102>
[is] wiser
<02450>
in his own conceit
<05869>
than seven men
<07651>
that can render
<07725> (8688)
a reason
<02940>_.
He that passeth by
<05674> (8802)_,
[and] meddleth
<05674> (8693)
with strife
<07379>
[belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh
<02388> (8688)
a dog
<03611>
by the ears
<0241>_.
{meddleth: or, is enraged}
As a mad
<03856> (8700)
[man] who casteth
<03384> (8802)
firebrands
<02131>_,
arrows
<02671>_,
and death
<04194>_,
{firebrands: Heb. flames, or, sparks}
So [is] the man
<0376>
[that] deceiveth
<07411> (8765)
his neighbour
<07453>_,
and saith
<0559> (8804)_,
Am not I in sport
<07832> (8764)_?
Where no
<0657>
wood
<06086>
is, [there] the fire
<0784>
goeth out
<03518> (8799)_:
so where [there is] no talebearer
<05372>_,
the strife
<04066>
ceaseth
<08367> (8799)_.
{Where no...: Heb. Without wood} {talebearer: or, whisperer} {ceaseth: Heb. is silent}
[As] coals
<06352>
[are] to burning coals
<01513>_,
and wood
<06086>
to fire
<0784>_;
so [is] a contentious
<04079> (8675) <04066>
man
<0376>
to kindle
<02787> (8771)
strife
<07379>_.
The words
<01697>
of a talebearer
<05372>
[are] as wounds
<03859> (8693)_,
and they go down
<03381> (8804)
into the innermost parts
<02315>
of the belly
<0990>_.
{innermost...: Heb. chambers}
Burning
<01814> (8801)
lips
<08193>
and a wicked
<07451>
heart
<03820>
[are like] a potsherd
<02789>
covered
<06823> (8794)
with silver
<03701>
dross
<05509>_.
He that hateth
<08130> (8802)
dissembleth
<05234> (8735)
with his lips
<08193>_,
and layeth up
<07896> (8799)
deceit
<04820>
within
<07130>
him; {dissembleth: or, is known}
When he speaketh
<06963>
fair
<02603> (8762)_,
believe
<0539> (8686)
him not: for [there are] seven
<07651>
abominations
<08441>
in his heart
<03820>_.
{speaketh...: Heb. maketh his voice gracious}
[Whose] hatred
<08135>
is covered
<03680> (8691)
by deceit
<04860>_,
his wickedness
<07451>
shall be shewed
<01540> (8735)
before the [whole] congregation
<06951>_.
{by...: or, in secret}
Whoso diggeth
<03738> (8802)
a pit
<07845>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
therein: and he that rolleth
<01556> (8802)
a stone
<068>_,
it will return
<07725> (8799)
upon him.
A lying
<08267>
tongue
<03956>
hateth
<08130> (8799)
[those that are] afflicted
<01790>
by it; and a flattering
<02509>
mouth
<06310>
worketh
<06213> (8799)
ruin
<04072>_.
