Proverbs 26:22 in context

  1. 20For lack of wood a fire goes out.
    Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
  2. 21As coals are to hot embers,
    and wood to fire,
    so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
  3. 22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
    they go down into the innermost parts.
  4. 23Like silver dross on an earthen vessel
    are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
  5. 24A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
    but he harbors evil in his heart.
