Proverbs 18:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ The lips of a fool will bring strife,
    and his mouth calls out for a flogging.
⁷ The mouth of a fool is ruin to him,
    and his lips are a snare to his soul.^[a]
8 The words of a whisper are like delicious morsels,
    and they themselves go down to inner parts of the body.
