Proverbs 26:20-22

American Standard Version

²⁰ For lack of wood the fire goeth out;
And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
²¹ As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to inflame strife.
²² The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts.
