Proverbs 26:20-24

²⁰When trees or woods shall fail, the fire shall be quenched; and when a privy backbiter is withdrawn, strives rest.

²¹As dead coals at or to quick coals, and trees at the fire or wood to fire; so a wrathful man raiseth chidings.

²²The words of a privy backbiter be as simple; and those or they come till to the innerest things of the heart.

²³As if thou wouldest adorn a vessel of earth with the dross of silver, so be swelling lips fellowshipped with a full wicked heart.

²⁴An enemy is understood by his lips, when he treateth guiles in his heart.
