Proverbs 26:17-22

He that passeth by
<05674> (8802)_,
[and] meddleth
<05674> (8693)
with strife
<07379>
[belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh
<02388> (8688)
a dog
<03611>
by the ears
<0241>_.
{meddleth: or, is enraged}
As a mad
<03856> (8700)
[man] who casteth
<03384> (8802)
firebrands
<02131>_,
arrows
<02671>_,
and death
<04194>_,
{firebrands: Heb. flames, or, sparks}
So [is] the man
<0376>
[that] deceiveth
<07411> (8765)
his neighbour
<07453>_,
and saith
<0559> (8804)_,
Am not I in sport
<07832> (8764)_?
Where no
<0657>
wood
<06086>
is, [there] the fire
<0784>
goeth out
<03518> (8799)_:
so where [there is] no talebearer
<05372>_,
the strife
<04066>
ceaseth
<08367> (8799)_.
{Where no...: Heb. Without wood} {talebearer: or, whisperer} {ceaseth: Heb. is silent}
[As] coals
<06352>
[are] to burning coals
<01513>_,
and wood
<06086>
to fire
<0784>_;
so [is] a contentious
<04079> (8675) <04066>
man
<0376>
to kindle
<02787> (8771)
strife
<07379>_.
The words
<01697>
of a talebearer
<05372>
[are] as wounds
<03859> (8693)_,
and they go down
<03381> (8804)
into the innermost parts
<02315>
of the belly
<0990>_.
{innermost...: Heb. chambers}
