Proverbs 18:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ A fool’s lips ^[a]bring strife,
And his mouth calls for ^(A)blows.
⁷ A ^(B)fool’s mouth is his ruin,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
⁸ The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the ^[b]innermost parts of the body.
