18As a madman That casteth about darts, arrows, and death,
19So is the man who deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, “Was I not in sport?”
20Where there is no wood, the fire goeth out; So, where there is no talebearer, contention ceaseth.
21As coal is for heat, and as wood for fire, So is a contentious man for kindling strife.
Proverbs 26
