About Proverbs

Practical wisdom for daily living, largely from King Solomon.

Old Testament • Book #20

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

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

As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
