Proverbs 26:19
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
In context
17 Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18 Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows,
19 so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
20 Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, a conflict ceases.
21 Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
