Proverbs 18:6-8, Proverbs 18:13 — Legacy Standard Bible

⁶A fool’s lips come with strife,And his mouth calls for ^abeatings.⁷A ^afool’s mouth is his ruin,And his lips are the snare of his soul.⁸The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,And they go down into the ¹innermost parts of the stomach.

¹³He who ^aresponds with a word before he hears,It is folly and shame to him.
