Proverbs 26:21

Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,

is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”

For lack of wood a fire goes out.

Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,

they go down into the innermost parts.

Like silver dross on an earthen vessel

are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.

A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,

but he harbors evil in his heart.
