The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.
There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.
For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.
Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
