American King James Version
" As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. "
— Proverbs 26:21, American King James Version
“As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.”
“Ascoals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife. ”
“As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.”
“Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.”
“As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.”
“Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.”
“As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.”
As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
So is the man that deceives his neighbor, and says, Am not I in sport?
Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
He that hates dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within him;
