Proverbs 26:20-22

Proverbs 26:20-22

[20] Where no  wood  is, there the fire  goeth out:  so where there is no talebearer,  the strife  ceaseth.  [21] As coals  are to burning coals,  and wood  to fire;  man  to kindle  strife.  [22] The words  of a talebearer  are as wounds,  and they go down  into the innermost parts  of the belly.
