Verse 23 is found in chapter 26 of Proverbs. Without wood the fire goes out, and without a gossip strife ceases: the image explains how certain words keep a conflict alive. The contentious person feeds arguments as charcoal feeds embers. Lips may hide hatred beneath a pleasant appearance, but the heart eventually reveals itself. Proverbs teaches here to discern not only what is said, but the persistent intention sustaining the speech.
