Proverbs 18:8

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: They go down into a person's innermost parts.

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.

The words of a tale-bearer `are' as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down `to' the inner parts of the heart.

The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
