Proverbs 26:21-23

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
²³ When a hypocrite says nice words,
    that is like a cheap pot with silver paint.
