¹⁸ Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,

²³ The archers have sorely grieved him, Shot at him, and persecute him:

²³ Until an arrow strikes through his liver, As a bird hurries to the snare, And doesn't know that it will cost his life.

¹⁸ A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor Is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

¹¹ Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who gird yourselves about with firebrands; walk you in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
