A gossip’s words are like delicacies that go down to one’s innermost being. ,
The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip; avoid someone with a big mouth.
There are men within you who slander in order to shed blood. People who live in you eat at the mountain shrines; they commit depraved acts within you.
Do not go about spreading slander among your people; do not jeopardise your neighbour’s life; I am the Lord.
