Proverbs 26:20-22
20For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no 1gossiper, 2quarreling quiets down.21Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a 3contentious person to kindle strife.22The 4words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the 5innermost parts of the body.
