Proverbs 16:27

New International Version

²⁷A scoundrel^(A) plots evil,
and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.^(B)

Proverbs 16:27

King James Version

²⁷An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

²¹As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.^(A)

²¹As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

New International Version (NIV)
