Proverbs 26:21-23
Lexham English Bible
21 As charcoal is to hot embers and wood is to fire,
so a man of quarrels is to kindling strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels,
and they go down to the inner parts of the body.
23 Like impure silver[a] which overlays an earthen vessel,
so are smooth lips and an evil heart[b].
