Proverbs 26:20-22

Proverbs 26:20-22 GW

Without wood a fire goes out, and without gossip a quarrel dies down. ⌞As⌟ charcoal fuels burning coals and wood fuels fire, so a quarrelsome person fuels a dispute. The words of a gossip are swallowed greedily, and they go down into a person’s innermost being.
