Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.

And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.

When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff, the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.

I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride.

A lying tongue hates its victims, and flattering words cause ruin.

If a ruler pays attention to liars, all his advisers will be wicked.

A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends.

As surely as a north wind brings rain, so a gossiping tongue causes anger!

“ Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people.“ Do not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is threatened. I am the Lord.

Wrongdoers eagerly listen to gossip; liars pay close attention to slander.

Don’t eavesdrop on others— you may hear your servant curse you.For you know how often you yourself have cursed others.

But now let my lord the king listen to his servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, then let him accept my offering. But if this is simply a human scheme, then may those involved be cursed by the Lord. For they have driven me from my home, so I can no longer live among the Lord’s people, and they have said,‘ Go, worship pagan gods.’

Fire goes out without wood, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops.A quarrelsome person starts fights as easily as hot embers light charcoal or fire lights wood.Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.
