Proverbs 18:6-8

6 A fool’s lips come into strife,
and his mouth invites beatings.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels:
they go down into a person’s innermost parts.

and their lips a snare to themselves.(A)

they go down into the inner parts of the body.(B)
