Proverbs 26:17-22

Rotherham(i) 17 As he who layeth hold of the ears of a dog, is a passer–by, who giveth vent to his wrath over a quarrel, not his!
18 As a madman throwing firebrands, arrows and death, 19 So, is a man who deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Was not, I, in sport?
20 Without wood a fire is quenched, and, where there is no tattler, strife is hushed. 21 Black coal to burning blocks, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man, for kindling strife. 22 the words of a tattler, are dainties, they, therefore go down into the chambers of the inner man.
