Proverbs 26:19-21
New Catholic Bible

19 so is the one who deceives his neighbor
    and then says, “I was only joking.”
20 When there is no wood, the fire goes out,
    and when there is no talebearer, quarreling ceases.
21 Like coal for burning embers and wood for fire,
    so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
