“Pit and Stone"
Blessings folk!
If you play the fool…
If you are wise in your own eyes…
If you are a sluggard…
If you meddle in quarrels…
If you are a joking deceiver…
If you are a whisperer…
If you hate…
Then, you are digging a pit for yourself…
The stone you roll will get you…
Pro 26:27
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
ESV
You are burying yourself.
Here is the bottom line to all the Proverbs in chapter 26.
Pro 26:28
A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
ESV
A lying tongue is The Manifestation of hate.
Victims are many.
A flattering mouth brings forth ruin.
May we not lie.
May we not speak manipulative flattery.
