Proverbs 26:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² The words of a gossip are like ·tasty bits of food [choice morsels];
·people like to gobble them up [^Lthey go down to the inmost parts].

²³ ·Kind words [^LSmooth lips] from a wicked ·mind [^Lheart]
are like ·a shiny [silver] coating on a clay pot.

²⁴ Those who hate you may try to ·fool [trick] you with their ·words [^Llips],
    but ·in their minds [inside] they ·are planning evil [^Lset deception].
