American Standard Version
Proverbs 26:20-23
20For lack of wood the fire goeth out;And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.21Ascoals are to hot embers, and wood to fire,So is a contentious man to inflame strife.22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,And they go down into the innermost parts.23Fervent lips and a wicked heart Arelikean earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
