Proverbs 18:8

A Conservative Version

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts.

See the chapter Copy

A perverse man scatters abroad strife, and a whisperer separates chief friends.

There is he who speaks rashly like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is health.

Thou shall not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people, neither shall thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor. I am LORD.

Thy tongue devises wickedness, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
