20 For lack of wood, a fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarreling will cease.

so a man of quarrels is to kindling strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels,
and they go down to the inner parts of the body.

Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

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.
