Proverbs 26:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995

19 So is the man who (A)deceives his neighbor,
And says, “(B)Was I not joking?”
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no (C)whisperer, (D)contention quiets down.
21 Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a (E)contentious man to kindle strife.
