Verse 19 is found in chapter 26 of Proverbs. The lazy person again invents dangers to justify inactivity and appears trapped in a repetitive cycle. The meddler and the one who provokes conflicts through harmful jokes are then described. The image of throwing fire and arrows shows that gossip and provocation can cause real wounds even when presented as entertainment.

Tale è colui che inganna il suo prossimo, E dice: Non ischerzo io?
Assim é o homem que engana o seu próximo, e diz: Fiz isso por brincadeira.
