Proverbs 26:20-23

Proverbs 26:20-23 CSB

Without wood, fire goes out; without a gossip, conflict dies down.  As charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.  A gossip’s words are like choice food that goes down to one’s innermost being.  , Smooth  lips with an evil heart are like glaze on an earthen vessel.
