Proverbs 25:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ Don't visit your neighbors too often; they may get tired of you and come to hate you.

¹⁸ A false accusation is as deadly as a sword, a club, or a sharp arrow.

¹⁹ Depending on an unreliable person in a crisis is like trying to chew with a loose tooth or walk with a crippled foot.
