Proverbs 26:20-22

Lexham English Bible

²⁰ For lack of wood, a fire goes out,
    and where there is no whisperer, quarreling will cease.
²¹ As charcoal is to hot embers and wood is to fire,
    so a man of quarrels is to kindling strife.
²² The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels,
    and they go down to the inner parts of the body.
