Proverbs 18:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
    and his lips are the snare of his soul.

⁸ The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
    and they go down into the innermost parts of the body.

⁹ He also who is slothful in his work
    is brother to him who is a great waster.
