Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: So where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, contention ceases.
For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
Without wood a fire goes out; without gossips, conflict calms down.
When the wood fails, the fire will be extinguished. And when the gossiper is taken away, conflicts will be quelled.
When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
