English Standard Version
Proverbs 26:20-23
20For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
21As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
23Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.
