Proverbs 26:18

¹⁶A sluggard seems to himself wiser Than one who most satisfactorily brings back a message.

¹⁷As he that lays hold of a dog’s tail, So is he that makes himself the champion of another’s cause.

— Proverbs 26:18 —

¹⁹So are all that lay wait for their own friends, And when they are discovered, say, I did it in jest.

²⁰With much wood fire increases; But where there is not a double-minded man, strife ceases.
