So is a contentious person to kindle strife.

21 Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,

So is a contentious man to kindle strife.

So is a contentious man to kindle strife. [Prov 15:18; 29:22]

so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.

21Coal glows, and wood burns.

And a person who argues stirs up conflict.
