A gossip’s words are like choice food that goes down to one’s innermost being.

And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.

When their rulers will be thrown off the sides of a cliff, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasing.

I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.

If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked.

A contrary man spreads conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.

The north wind produces rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

You must not go about spreading slander among your people; you must not jeopardize your neighbor’s life; I am Yahweh.

A wicked person listens to malicious talk; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

Don’t pay attention to everything people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you,for you know that many times you yourself have cursed others.

Now, may my lord the king please hear the words of his servant: If it is the Lord who has incited you against me, then may He accept an offering. But if it is people, may they be cursed in the presence of the Lord, for today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the Lord saying,‘ Go and worship other gods.’

Without wood, fire goes out; without a gossip, conflict dies down.As charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.A gossip’s words are like choice food that goes down to one’s innermost being.
