Proverbs 26:20-22

Young's Literal Translation

²⁰ Without wood is fire going out, And without a tale-bearer, contention ceaseth,

²¹ Coal to burning coals, and wood to fire, And a man of contentions to kindle strife.

²² The words of a tale-bearer [are] as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart.
