Proverbs 26:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
19 so is one who deceives a neighbour
and says, ‘I am only joking!’
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarrelling ceases.
21 As charcoal is to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
Proverbs 26:19-21
New International Version
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”
