Proverbs 18:8-10
New International Reader's Version
8 The words of anyone who talks about others are like tasty bites of food.
They go deep down inside you.
9 Anyone who doesn’t want to work
is like someone who destroys.
10 The name of the Lord is like a strong tower.
Godly people run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:8-10
New International Version
8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.(A)
9 One who is slack in his work
is brother to one who destroys.(B)
