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