Proverbios 26:21 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 26:21

As coals [are] to burning coals, and wood to fire
As brands, wood half burnt, or dead coals put to live and burning ones, soon take fire and become like them, and fit and proper fuel for them, and add to their heat: so [is] a contentious man to kindle strife;
or "a man of contentions" {k}; who is given to it, is full of it; it is agreeable to his natural temper and disposition; he is in his element when at it; such a man is as fuel to the fire, as a dead coal to a living one, which increases the heat of it; so does he, he kindles and spreads the flame of contention and strife.

Proverbios 26:21 In-Context

19 así es el hombre que engaña a su prójimo, y dice: ¿Acaso no estaba yo bromeando?
20 Por falta de leña se apaga el fuego, y donde no hay chismoso, se calma la contienda.
21 Como carbón para las brasas y leña para el fuego, así es el hombre rencilloso para encender contiendas.
22 Las palabras del chismoso son como bocados deliciosos, y penetran hasta el fondo de las entrañas.
23 Como vasija de barro revestida de escoria de plata, así son los labios ardientes y el corazón perverso.
