Proverbs 26:20-22

KJ2000(i) 20 Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases. 21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. 22 The words of a talebearer are tasty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
