Proverbs 18:8

The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;

they go down into the inner parts of the body.

The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;

they go down to the inmost parts.

A gossip’s words are like choice food

that goes down to one’s innermost being.

Rumors are dainty morsels

that sink deep into one’s heart.

The words of a whisper are like delicious morsels,

and they themselves go down to inner parts of the body.

The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
