18. Like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death
19. is one who deceives their neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
20. Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
23. Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
