Proverbs 26:20-22
The Bible in Basic English
BBE
New International Version
NIV
20
Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended.
20
Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21
Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.
21
As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22
The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach.
22
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
