Proverbs 18:7-9
New American Standard Bible 1995

7 A (A)fool’s mouth is his ruin,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the [a]innermost parts of the body.
9 He also who is (B)slack in his work
(C)Is brother to him who destroys.
