Proverbs 18:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 The lips of fools walk into a fight,
and their mouths are asking for a beating.[a]
7 The mouths of fools are their ruin;
their lips are a deadly snare.(A)
8 The words of a talebearer are like dainty morsels:
they sink into one’s inmost being.(B)
