Proverbs 18:7


Proverbs 18:6 Proverbs 18:7 (KJV) Proverbs 18:8
A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
The words of a talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
