Proverbs 26:22
Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.
Gossip does not merely cause surface embarrassment — it wounds at depth. The image of words going into the 'innermost parts' pictures how gossip lodges in a person's heart, memory, and identity, doing damage long after the words are spoken. Words are not neutral; they have the power to wound and even to destroy.
Memory phrase: Words wound deep inside.
Talk about it: Why does hearing gossip about yourself hurt so deeply?
Prayer: God, guard my mouth from words that wound.
