- Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.
- As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
- The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.
- Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
- A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit.
|
- Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart.
- His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
- If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him.
- A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
