Proverbs 26:22

Modern King James Version

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

See the chapter Copy

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

A gossip is a revealer of secrets; so do not mix with him who flatters with his lips.

In you are men of slander to shed blood; and in you they eat on the mountains; in your midst they do unchaste acts.

You shall not go as a slanderer among your people; you shall not stand against the blood of your neighbor. I am Jehovah.
