Proverbs 26:22

New International Reader's Version

The words of anyone who talks about others are like tasty bites of food. They go deep down inside you.

See the chapter Copy

The words of anyone who talks about others are like tasty bites of food. They go deep down inside you.

A person who talks about others tells secrets. So avoid anyone who talks too much.

You have spread lies about others so you can spill someone’s blood. You eat at the mountain temples. You commit impure acts.

“ ‘Do not go around spreading lies among your people. “ ‘Do not do anything that puts your neighbor’s life in danger. I am the Lord.
