Proverbs 26:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 so is one who deceives a neighbor
and says, “I am only joking!”(A)
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.(B)
21 As charcoal is to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(C)
