"The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. These expressions are the same with those in Pro 18:8 ;
and are here repeated, as being found along with others by the men of Hezekiah, Pro 25:1 ; as some others likewise are; and also because of the importance of them; and to impress the minds of men with a sense of the evil of such a practice, that they may shun it, and avoid those that are given to it. See Gill on Pro 18:8 .
