Proverbs 26:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ For lack of wood the fire goes out,
    and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
²¹ As charcoal is to hot embers and wood to fire,
    so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
²² The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
    they go down into the inner parts of the body.
