Proverbs 26:15-28 (Complete Jewish Bible)

15 The lazy person buries his hand in the dish but is too tired to return it to his mouth. 16 A lazy man is wiser in his own view than seven who can answer with sense. 17 Like someone who grabs a dog by the ears is a passer-by who mixes in a fight not his own. 18 Like a madman shooting deadly arrows and firebrands 19 is one who deceives another, then says, "It was just a joke." 20 If there's no wood, the fire goes out; if nobody gossips, contention stops. 21 As coals are to embers and wood to fire is a quarrelsome person to kindling strife. 22 A slanderer's words are tasty morsels; they slide right down into the belly. 23 Like silver slag overlaid on a clay pot are lips that burn [with friendship] over a hating heart. 24 He who hates may hide it with his speech; but inside, he harbors deceit. 25 He may speak pleasantly, but don't trust him; for seven abominations are in his heart. 26 His hatred may be concealed by deceit, but his wickedness will be revealed in the assembly. 27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling. 28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
