Proverbs 26:21-23
International Standard Version
Proverbs 26:21-23
International Standard Version
21 Charcoal is to hot coals
as wood is to fire;
so also a quarrelsome man fuels strife.
22 The words of a gossip are like delicate morsels;
they sink down deep within.
23 A clay vessel plated with a thin veneer of silver—
that’s what smooth[a] lips with a wicked heart are.
