Proverbs 26:19-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
19
So is a person who deceives his neighbor,
And says, 'Was I not joking?'
20
For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no gossiper, quarreling quiets down.
21
Like
charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a contentious person to kindle strife.
22
The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
23
Like
an earthenware vessel overlaid with silver impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
King James Version
Chapter 26
19
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 26
19
so is the person who deceives his neighbor
and says, "I was only joking!"
20
Without wood, fire goes out;
without a gossip, conflict dies down.
21
As charcoal for embers and wood for fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22
A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.
23
Smooth lips with an evil heart
are like glaze on an earthen vessel.
New Living Translation
Chapter 26
19
is someone who lies to a friend
and then says, 'I was only joking.'
20
Fire goes out without wood,
and quarrels disappear when gossip stops.
21
A quarrelsome person starts fights
as easily as hot embers light charcoal or fire lights wood.
22
Rumors are dainty morsels
that sink deep into one’s heart.
23
Smooth words may hide a wicked heart,
just as a pretty glaze covers a clay pot.
English Standard Version
Chapter 26
19
is the man who deceives his neighbor
and says, "I am only joking!"
20
For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
21
As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22
The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
23
Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel
are fervent lips with an evil heart.
New International Version
Chapter 26
19
is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, "I was only joking!"
20
Without wood a fire goes out;
without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21
As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.
23
Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent lips with an evil heart.
New King James Version
Chapter 26
19
Is
the man
who
deceives his neighbor,
And says, “I was only joking!”
20
Where
there is
no wood, the fire goes out;
And where
there is
no talebearer, strife ceases.
21
As
charcoal
is
to burning coals, and wood to fire,
So
is
a contentious man to kindle strife.
22
The words of a talebearer
are
like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body.
23
Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like
earthenware covered with silver dross.
