Proverbs 26:20
King James Version
“Where no wood is, the fire goeth out: so where no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.”
Context
17He that passeth by, meddleth with strife not to him, one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18As a mad who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19So the man deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20Where no wood is, the fire goeth out: so where no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21coals to burning coals, and wood to fire; so a contentious man to kindle strife.
22The words of a talebearer as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart a potsherd covered with silver dross.
