Commentary for Proverbs 26:21
פֶּחָ֣ם לְ֭גֶחָלִים וְעֵצִ֣ים לְאֵ֑שׁ וְאִ֥ישׁ מדונים [מִ֝דְיָנִ֗ים] לְחַרְחַר־רִֽיב׃ (פ)
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Rashi on Proverbs
As charcoal is for coals and wood is for fire Charcoal on fire is capable of igniting dying embers, and wood is capable of kindling fire, and a quarrelsome man of kindling strife.
