Proverbs 26:18 in Context — Proverbs 26

16 O preguiçoso se acha mais sábio aos próprios olhos do que sete que respondem com prudência.

17 Aquele que, enquanto está passando, [se envolve] em briga que não é sua, é [como] o que pega um cão pelas orelhas.

18 Como o louco que lança faíscas, flechas e coisas mortíferas,

19 Assim é o homem que engana a seu próximo, e diz: Não estava eu [só] brincando?

20 Sem lenha, o fogo se apaga; e sem fofoqueiro, a briga termina.
