Proverbs 18:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
7 The mouths of fools are their ruin,
and their lips a snare to themselves.
8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
9 One who is slack in work
is close kin to a vandal.
Proverbs 18:7-9
New International Version
8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.(C)
9 One who is slack in his work
is brother to one who destroys.(D)
