Pro 6:19, 16:28, 22:8, 26:17-22, Hos 8:7, Rom 16:17, Gal 6:7-8 | ESV | STEP | a false witness who breathes out lies , and one who sows discord among brothers .

17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws ⁱfirebrands, arrows, and death
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor
and says, “I am only joking!”
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no ^jwhisperer, ^kquarreling ceases.
21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is ^la quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22 ^mThe words of ⁿa whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.

Hosea 8:7

7 For ^othey sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
^pstrangers would devour it.

Romans 16:17

Final Instructions and Greetings

17 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles ^qcontrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; ^ravoid them.

7 ^sDo not be deceived: God is not mocked, for ^twhatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For ^uthe one who sows to his own flesh ^vwill from the flesh reap corruption, but ^wthe one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
