Proverbs 26:20-22

20 Where no wood is, [there] the fire goeth out: so where [there is] no tale-bearer, 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 tale-bearer [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.
