Proverbs 26:19 in English
Proverbs 26:19 · Berean Standard Bible
so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
Context
17Kama yeye amkamataye mbwa kwa masikio,
ndivyo alivyo mtu apitaye njiani na kujiingiza kwenye ugomvi usiomhusu. 18Kama mtu mwendawazimu
atupaye vijinga vya moto au mishale ya kufisha, 19ndivyo alivyo mtu amdanganyaye jirani yake na kusema,
“Nilikuwa nikifanya mzaha tu!” 20Bila kuni moto huzimika;
pasipo uchongezi ugomvi humalizika. 21Kama makaa juu ya makaa yanayowaka, na kama kuni kwenye moto,
ndivyo alivyo mtu mgomvi kwa kuchochea ugomvi.
