NASB
"Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife."
— Proverbs 26:21, NASB
“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.”
Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death,
So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, "Was I not joking?"
For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.
Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart.
