Proverbs 26:21

As deed coolis at quic coolis, and trees at the fier; so a wrathful man reisith chidyngis.

Bible (Wycliffe)

In The King James Version

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

In Context

20Whanne trees failen, the fier schal be quenchid; and whanne a priuy bacbitere is withdrawun, stryues resten.

22The wordis of a pryuei bacbitere ben as symple; and tho comen til to the ynneste thingis of the herte.
