בְּאֶ֣פֶס עֵ֭צִים תִּכְבֶּה אֵ֑שׁ וּבְאֵ֥ין נִ֝רְגָּ֗ן יִשְׁתֹּ֥ק מָדֽוֹן׃
bʾepes ʿeṣiym tikbeh ʾesh vbʾeyn nirgan yishtoq madvon
King James Version (KJV)

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

Modern English

For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
