Proverbs 18:8

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The words of the tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

See the chapter Copy

A man of perverseness shall send forth strife: and a tale-bearer separates friends.

There is he talking idly as the piercings of the sword: and the tongue of the wise is healing.

Thou shalt not go a slanderer among thy people; thou shalt not stand upon the blood of thy neighbor: I Jehovah.

Thy tongue will purpose mischief as a razor being sharpened, working deceit.

The mouth of the foolish is destruction to him, and his lips the snare of his soul.

Also he being slothful in his work, he the brother of the master of destruction.
