Proverbs 25:18-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ A man giving false testimony against his neighbor^(A)
is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.^(B)
19 Trusting an unreliable person in a difficult time
is like a rotten tooth or a faltering foot.^(C)

²⁰ Singing songs to a troubled heart
is like taking off clothing on a cold day
or like pouring vinegar on soda.^[a](D)
