Proverbs 18:8
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.
[New International Version]
This verse highlights the enticing and damaging nature of gossip.
The comparison to “choice morsels” suggests that gossip, like delicious food, is tempting and easy to consume. However, these words penetrate deeply once heard, affecting the listener’s heart and mind.
This verse warns that gossip, though appealing, can have lasting adverse effects, fostering mistrust and harm. It cautions against both spreading and indulging in harmful talk.
