Proverbs 26:22-24
New American Standard Bible

22 The (A)words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the [a]innermost parts of the body.
23 Like an earthenware (B)vessel overlaid with silver [b](C)impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24 One who (D)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he harbors (E)deceit in his [c]heart.
