The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.

And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

If a ruler listens to lies, all of his officials are wicked.

A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.

The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

“‘ You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people.“‘ You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am Yahweh.

An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

Also don’t take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.

Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to Yahweh’s inheritance, saying,‘ Go, serve other gods!’

For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
