Proverbs 26:21-24 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

21. Charcoal and wood keep a fire going.In the same way, a quarrelsome person keeps an argument going.

22. The words of a gossip are like tasty bits of food.People take them all in.

23. Kind words from a wicked mindare like a shiny coating on a clay pot.

24. A person who hates you may fool you with his words.But in his mind he is planning evil.
