Proverbs 26:20-22

20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out; so, where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

20 Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.

21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.

22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
