"Like a madman who shoots firebrands and deadly arrows,"
— Proverbs 26:18, NET Bible
“As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,”
“As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death, ”
“Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,”
“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 has plunged his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
The sluggard is wiser in his own opinion than seven people who respond with good sense.
Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.
Like a madman who shoots firebrands and deadly arrows,
so is a person who has deceived his neighbor, and said,“Was I not only joking?”
Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.
Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.
