Proverbs 26:20-23

20Where no woodH6086 is, the fireH784 goeth out; and where there is no talebearer, the contentionH4066 ceaseth.

21[As] coalsH1513 for hot coalsH1513, and woodH6086 for fireH784, so is a contentious manH376 to inflame strifeH7379.

22The wordsH1697 of a talebearer are as dainty morsels, and they goH3381 down into the innermost parts of the bellyH990.

23Ardent lipsH8193, and a wickedH7451 heartH3820, are [as] an earthen vessel overlaidH6823 with silverH3701 dross.
