Proverbs 26:20-22

NLT

NIV

20 Fire goes out without wood, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops.
20 Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21 A quarrelsome person starts fights as easily as hot embers light charcoal or fire lights wood.
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22 Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
