Without wood a fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, strife dies down.
In context
18Like a madman shooting firebrands, arrows and death, 19so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking.” 20Without wood a fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, strife dies down. 21Charcoal for embers and wood for fire, and a quarrelsome man to kindle a quarrel. 22The words of a whisperer are like choice morsels; they go down to the inner chambers of the belly.
