This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_18:8 The words of a talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Ver. 8. The words of a talebearer are as wounds.] {See Trapp on "Pro_12:18"} He that takes away a man’s good name kills him alive, and ruins him and his posterity; being herein worse than Cain, for he, in killing his brother, made him live for ever, and eternalised his name. Some read, "Are as the words of the wounded": they seem to speak out of wounded, troubled hearts, and then their words go down into the belly - they go glib down, pass without the least questioning.
