Proverbios 26:19 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 26:19

So [is] the man [that] deceiveth his neighbour
By telling him a lie; or by reporting false things concerning him; or by cheating him in trade and commerce; or by taking his goods privately from him; and, when caught in either of these, and saith, Am not I in sport?
do not be angry, I designed no hurt; it is all in jest, a mere joke: but, had he not been apprehended, it would have been in earnest, as he was. This is only an excuse, and as absurd an one as if a man should set fire to his neighbour's house and barns, or throw arrows at him, or strike him with any instrument of death, as the sword and then say he was only in jest, or pretend madness.

Proverbios 26:19 In-Context

17 Meterse en pleitos ajenoses como agarrar a un perro por las orejas.
18 Como loco que disparamortíferas flechas encendidas,
19 es quien engaña a su amigo y explica:«¡Tan solo estaba bromeando!»
20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego;sin chismes se acaba el pleito.
21 Con el carbón se hacen brasas, con la leña se prende fuego,y con un pendenciero se inician los pleitos.
