Proverbs 26:20-22

GW

NIV

20 Without wood a fire goes out, and without gossip a quarrel dies down.
20 Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21 [As] charcoal fuels burning coals and wood fuels fire, so a quarrelsome person fuels a dispute.
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22 The words of a gossip are swallowed greedily, and they go down into a person's innermost being.
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
