Proverbs 18:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ A fool’s lips bring strife,
    and a fool’s mouth invites a flogging.
⁷ The mouths of fools are their ruin,
    and their lips a snare to themselves.
⁸ The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
    they go down into the inner parts of the body.
