Proverbs 25:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸ Like a maul and a sword and a sharp arrow all in one,
    so is anyone who bears false witness against a neighbor.

¹⁹ Like a tooth that is rotten or a foot that is unsteady,
    so is relying on a person who can’t be trusted in times of trouble.

²⁰ Like a man who undresses in winter
    or a woman who pours vinegar on a wound,^[a]
So is anyone who tries to sing happy songs
    to a sorrowful heart.
