18As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death;
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith: 'Am not I in sport?'
20Where no wood is, the fire goeth out; and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Proverbs 26
