NASB
"Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death,"
— Proverbs 26:18, NASB
“As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,”
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.
Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him.
Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death,
So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, "Was I not joking?"
For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.
Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
