Proverbs 26:22-24
New Catholic Bible

22 The whispers of a gossiper are tasty morsels
    that corrode one’s inner being.
23 Like glaze that is spread on earthenware
    are smooth lips and a spiteful heart.
24 With his lips an enemy may speak fair words,
    but deep within he harbors treachery.

Proverbs 26:22-24
New International Version

22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
    they go down to the inmost parts.(A)

23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
    are fervent[a] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,(B)
    but in their hearts they harbor deceit.(C)
