Proverbs 18:8

Revised Version 1885

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

See the chapter Copy

A froward man scattereth abroad strife: And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword: But the tongue of the wise is health.

Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.

Thy tongue deviseth very 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.
