19. So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
20. When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
21. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
22. The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
23. Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
