Proverbs 26:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:

¹⁹ So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.

²⁰ When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
