Proverbs 26:20
Where no wood is, the fire goeth out: so where no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
ā The Restored Word Bible
Context
18 As a mad who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So the man deceiveth his neighbour, and says, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, the fire goeth out: so where no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 coals to burning coals, and wood to fire; so a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
