18 Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 Is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, 'Am I not joking?'
20 For lack of wood a fire goes out; Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
21 As coals are to hot embers, And wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindling strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, They go down into the innermost parts.
