Proverbs 26:22 in the King James Version
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Context
21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
23 Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
