Proverbs 26:19 in Context — Proverbs 26

17 El que pasando se deja llevar de la ira en pleito ajeno, es [como] el que toma al perro por las orejas.

18 Como el que enloquece, y echa llamas y saetas y muerte,

19 Tal es el hombre que daña á su amigo, y dice: Ciertamente me chanceaba.

20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego: y donde no hay chismoso, cesa la contienda.

21 El carbón para brasas, y la leña para el fuego: y el hombre rencilloso para encender contienda.
