20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: So where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart Are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, And layeth up deceit within him;
25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: For there are seven abominations in his heart.
Proverbs 26
