Proverbs 20:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
18 Plans are confirmed by getting advice,
and with guidance one wages war.
19 Whoever goes around as a gossip tells secrets.
Do not associate with a person whose mouth is always open.
Proverbs 20:17-19
New International Version
18 Plans are established by seeking advice;
so if you wage war, obtain guidance.(C)
19 A gossip betrays a confidence;(D)
so avoid anyone who talks too much.
