Proverbs 26:20-22
EasyEnglish Bible

20 Without wood, a fire stops burning.
    When people do not tell their friends' secrets, quarrels stop.
21 But when a fire has wood, it continues to burn.
    When people love to quarrel, there will always be arguments.
22 We love to hear other people's secrets.
    They seem like good food that we can really enjoy.

Proverbs 26:20-22
New International Version

20 Without wood a fire goes out;
    without a gossip a quarrel dies down.(A)
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
    so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(B)
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
    they go down to the inmost parts.(C)
