Proverbs 26:20

WYC

NIV

20 When trees fail [When woods shall fail], the fire shall be quenched; and when a privy backbiter is withdrawn, strives rest. (When there is no more wood, the fire shall be quenched; and when a gossip departeth, or stoppeth speaking, the argument shall be ended.)
20 Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
