Proverbs 26:21-23

World English Bible

²¹ As coals are to hot embers,
    and wood to fire,
    so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
²² The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
    they go down into the innermost parts.
²³ Like silver dross on an earthen vessel
    are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
