Proverbs 18:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
A fool’s mouth is his ruin,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
⁸ 
The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];
They go down into the innermost chambers of the body [to be remembered and mused upon].
⁹ 
He who is careless in his work
Is a brother to him who destroys.
