Proverbs 26:20-22

ASV(i) 20 For lack of wood the fire goeth out;
And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth. 21 [As] coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to inflame strife. 22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts.
