Proverbs 25:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ A person who gives false testimony against a neighbor is as deadly as a club, a sword, or a very sharp arrow. ¹⁹ Never depend on a liar in times of trouble. It’s like chewing with a bad tooth or walking with a crippled foot.

²⁰ Singing happy songs to a sad person is as foolish as taking a coat off on a cold day or mixing soda and vinegar.
