Proverbs 26:21-23

Jubilee Bible 2000

²¹ Charcoal for burning coals and wood for fire, and a contentious man to kindle strife.

²² The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

²³ ¶ Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
