Proverbs 18:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ The mouths of fools are their ruin,
    and their lips a snare to themselves.^(A)
8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
    they go down into the inner parts of the body.^(B)
9 One who is slack in work
    is close kin to a vandal.^(C)
