ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૬:૧૯
તેવી જ વ્યક્તિ પોતાના પડોશીને છેતરીને, કહે છે “શું હું ગમ્મત નહોતો કરતો?”
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:१९
वैसा ही वह भी होता है जो अपने पड़ोसी को धोखा देकर कहता है, “मैं तो मजाक कर रहा था।”

In context

17Like one who grabs a dog’s ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

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

19is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”

20For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

21As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
