Proverbs 26:20-22

20Where noH657 woodH6086 is, there the fireH784 goeth outH3518: so where there is no talebearerH5372, the strifeH4066 ceasethH8367.123

21As coalsH6352 are to burning coalsH1513, and woodH6086 to fireH784; so is a contentiousH4066H4079 manH376 to kindleH2787 strifeH7379.

22The wordsH1697 of a talebearerH5372 are as woundsH3859, and they go downH3381 into the innermost partsH2315 of the bellyH990.4
