Proverbs 25:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour, is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow.

¹⁹ To trust to an unfaithful man in the time of trouble, is like a rotten tooth, and weary foot,

²⁰ And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.
