Proverbs 18:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ A [self-confident] fool’s lips bring contention, and his mouth invites a beating.

⁷ A [self-confident] fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to himself.

⁸ The words of a whisperer or talebearer are as dainty morsels; they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
