Flaming Arrows Of Death! – Proverbs 26:18

18 Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death

19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”

Proverbs Club Commentary

Do not deceive the neighbor, even as a joke.

For the entire law is fulfilled
in keeping this one command:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14 (NIV)

17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.

16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.

Proverbs Club Commentary

To be credible,
the idler must learn to respond sensibly.

15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

Proverbs Club Commentary

The fainéant is too lazy to eat.
Hyperbole, but point taken.

13 A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!”

14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.

Proverbs Club Commentary

The old “Lion In The Streets” excuse.
A door has a purpose to use the hinges.
An idler wastes his life loitering in bed.
