American Standard Version
"As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death, "
— Proverbs 26:18, American Standard Version
“As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,”
“Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,”
“Like a madman who shoots firebrands and deadly arrows,”
“As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death.”
“As one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death,”
“As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,”
The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason.
He that passeth by, and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, Islikeone that taketh a dog by the ears.
As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death,
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, Am not I in sport?
For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
Ascoals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.
