20When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
22The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
23Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
24An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
