Proverbs · chapter 26 · verse 21 · King James Version
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.Proverbs 26:21 · King James Version
Proverbs 26:21 in context
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
