Proverbs 26:20-22

20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.123

21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.4
