Proverbs 26:21-23

American Standard Version

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.
²³ Fervent lips and a wicked heart
Are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
