King James Version
"The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly."
— Proverbs 18:8, King James Version
“The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts. ”
“The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person's innermost parts.”
“The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; and they have gone down into the person’s innermost being.”
“The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.”
“The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, and go down into the inner parts of the stomach.”
“The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.”
It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
