# the one who deceives
Both the "madman" (Proverbs 26:18) and the one who deceives hurt people but do not take responsibility for it.
# Was I not telling a joke?
The deceiver uses this question to imply that since he his joke was only for fun, he should not be blamed for any harm he has caused. Alternate translation: "I did nothing wrong. I was only telling a joke." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
