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.
