Proverbs 18:8

6 A fool’s lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.

7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

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

9 Whoever is slothful in his work is brother to him who destroys.

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
