Parallel
Proverbs 18:8
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
The words of a talebearer (note: Or, whisperer) are as wounds (note: Or, like as when men are wounded), and they go down into the innermost parts (note: Heb. chambers) of the belly.
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
