Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 26:18
“Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows,”
In context
16The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
17Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows,
19So is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
20Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, a conflict ceases.
