Proverbs 26:17-28

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>_.
