Proverbs 25:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Like a club or a sword or a keen arrow
    is one who bears false witness against a neighbor.
¹⁹ Like a decaying tooth or a lame foot
    is trust in a faithless man on the day of trouble.
²⁰ Like one who takes away clothing on a cold day,
    like one who dresses a wound with vinegar,
    is one who sings songs to a grieving heart.^[a]
