Proverbs 25:18-20

The Message

¹⁸ Anyone who tells lies against the neighbors
    in court or on the street is a loose cannon.

¹⁹ Trusting a double-crosser when you’re in trouble
    is like biting down on an abscessed tooth.

²⁰ Singing light songs to the heavyhearted
    is like pouring salt in their wounds.
