Proverbs 26:20-22
Legacy Standard Bible
20 With no wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no (A)whisperer, (B)strife quiets down.
21 Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a (C)contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The (D)words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the stomach.
Proverbs 26:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 When there is no more wood, a fire goes out,
and without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
21 As charcoal is to hot embers and as wood is to fire,
so a quarrelsome person is to igniting a fight.
22 Words of a gossip are like food that is easy to swallow.
They go down to the depths of one’s heart.[a]
