Proverbs 26:20-22
World English Bible
20 For lack of wood a fire goes out.
Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
21 As coals are to hot embers,
and wood to fire,
so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
they go down into the innermost parts.
Proverbs 26:28
World English Bible
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts;
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
