Proverbs 26:19-21

21st Century King James Version

¹⁹ so is the man that deceiveth his neighbor and saith, “Am I not in jest?”

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

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