The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down into the person’s innermost being.

And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence– and is set on fire by hell.

They will be thrown down the side of a cliff by their judges. They will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret. I will not tolerate anyone who has a cocky demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

A lying tongue hates those crushed by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

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

A perverse person spreads dissension, and a gossip separates the closest friends.

The north wind brings forth rain, and a gossiping tongue brings forth an angry look.

You must not go about as a slanderer among your people. You must not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is at stake. I am the LORD.

One who acts wickedly pays attention to evil counsel; a liar listens to a malicious tongue.

Also, do not pay attention to everything that people say; otherwise, you might even hear your servant cursing you.For you know in your own heart that you also have cursed others many times.

So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has incited you against me, may he take delight in an offering. But if men have instigated this, may they be cursed before the LORD! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the LORD’s inheritance, saying,‘ Go on, serve other gods!’

Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.The words of a gossip are like delicious morsels; they go down into a person’s innermost being.
