PROVERBS 26:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.”
The lips of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts—an echo of 18:8, describing how gossip seduces and lodges in the hearer. The recurrence emphasizes that this truth about gossip is fundamental. The theological significance involves the principle of the insidious nature of slander.
