ગુજરાતી — નીતિવચનો ૨૬:૨૦: બળતણ ન હોવાથી અગ્નિ હોલવાઈ જાય છે. અને તેમ જ ચાડી કરનાર ન હોય, તો ત્યાં કજિયા સમી જાય છે.
हिन्दी — नीतिवचन २६:२०: जैसे लकड़ी न होने से आग बुझती है, उसी प्रकार जहाँ कानाफूसी करनेवाला नहीं, वहाँ झगड़ा मिट जाता है।

18Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,

19is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”

20For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

21As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
