The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.

And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

The north wind bringeth forth rain; So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am Jehovah.

An evil- doer giveth heed to wicked lips; And a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.

Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee;for oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Jehovah that hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
