Proverbs 26:21
| ← Proverbs 26:20 | Proverbs 26:21 (KJV) | Proverbs 26:22 → |
|---|---|---|
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
|
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
|
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
