21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to inflame strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him:
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart:
26 Though his hatred cover itself with guile, his wickedness shall be openly shewed before the congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
