Proverbs 26:6

He who sends news by the hand of a foolish man is cutting off his feet and drinking in damage.

Like acid drink to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the hater of work to those who send him.

But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.

As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master.
