Proverbs 26:22
Berean Standard Bible
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
Context
20Without wood, a fire goes out;
without gossip, a conflict ceases. 21Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire,
so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. 22The words of a gossip are like choice morsels
that go down into the inmost being. 23Like glaze covering an earthen vessel
are burning * lips and a wicked heart. 24A hateful man disguises himself with his speech,
but he lays up deceit in his heart.
