Proverbs 16:26-28

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁶ A working man’s appetite acts on his behalf,
    because his hunger presses him on.

²⁷ A worthless person digs up evil [gossip] —
    it is like scorching fire on his lips.
²⁸ A deceitful person stirs up strife,
    and a slanderer can separate even close friends.
