Without wood a fire goes out;
without gossip a quarrel dies down.

when the gossip ends, the quarrel dies down.

Share your food with the hungry,
and give shelter to the homeless.
Give clothes to those who need them,
and do not hide from relatives who need your help.
Isaiah 58:7 (New Living Translation)
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Isaiah 58:7 (New International Version)
What I’m interested in seeing you do is:
sharing your food with the hungry,
inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.
Isaiah 58:7 (The Message)
