She is like a tree of life to those who obtain her, and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.

The fruit of the righteous is like a tree producing life, and the one who wins souls is wise.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.

Speech that heals is like a life-giving tree, but a perverse tongue breaks the spirit.

Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.

Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.
