21As ye cole maketh burning coles, and wood a fire, so the contentious man is apt to kindle strife.
22The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
23As siluer drosse ouerlayde vpon a potsheard, so are burning lips, and an euill heart.
24He that hateth, will counterfaite with his lips, but in his heart he layeth vp deceite.
25Though he speake fauourably, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart.
26Hatred may be couered by deceite: but the malice thereof shall be discouered in the congregation.
