Proverbs 18:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ When a fool speaks, he starts an argument.
    He is asking for someone to beat him with a stick.
⁷ When a fool speaks, he is destroying himself.
    His own words are a trap that catches him.
⁸ We love to hear other people's secrets.
    They seem like good food that we can enjoy.
