King James Version with Apocrypha
"As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife."
— Proverbs 26:21, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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 a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
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 hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
